So now you have the history of the Suriname boa and the Guyana boa.Īs you mentioned the border is political and not natural. explain to me the difference of the two types as he separated a shipment that had actually come from MY farm in Guyana. I have also had the amusing pleasure of having a young man in the U.S. I have seen a wide variety of red tail boa color phases often taken from the same area by the same trapper.
