Panama has shipped Boas to the U.S. only a handfull of times in the past 3 years. In 2005 I was fortunate enough to get a few boas from a shipment sent to Florida. This shipment had both Hypomelanistic Panamanians & normal appearing Panamanian Boa c. imperator. There was no indication as to the locality data of these Boas but the normal boas are quite similar to the Costa Rican Boas. The Hypos from this bloodline are outstanding localty boas with alot of orange & red while the normals have some beautifull colors too. There also were quite a few striped specimens in that 2005 shipment which makes me tend to beleive that it may be a genetic trait in that area. These boas differ greatly from the Pearl Island boas in that the scale counts are different & the overall look - body shape / head shape & colors are way different from their Island cousins. They also are very small & stay that way as my 5 year old breeders are around 4 feet in length. They have good sized litters of small babies & are breed easily in my care. A great Boa if you want something small & compact.

Update June 09: I had a beautiful litter of Hypos & Normals. These are outrageous dwarf boas.
