Boa Identification Help

We recently inherited some boas. The owner was a widow whose husband had been collecting for over 20 years, and recently got rid of most of his animals prior to dying. We ended up with 6 boas, but she (and we) are unsure of what we have. She said she knows one is het T-pos, but not sure which one, and doesn't know what that recessive gene is or does, only that her husband was excited to know it proved out. I am hopeful somebody out there can help us identify these animals.

Ah, I see now what you were asking about. I am still not super comfortable with IDing boas but the first and third look like leopards or IMG to me. I would wait for input from someone with more experience to respond though.

Looks like a lot of Central Americans with some being hypo. Not IMG or Leopard, though. Some CA boas just get really, really dark as adults.

I agree. The second looks hypo, the rest look like normal. (no way to tell which is het at this point unless you can find some old photo id records or through breeding)

Those are some great looking snakes! I can't help with the ID's, but if the widow has access to her late husband's email account she may be able to find correspondence between her husband and the prior owners. If she finds anything hopefully they have records of what you've got.
