 Differences between the various types of Rainbow Boas?

Hallo!

I was just curious if anyone knew the differences between the different types of Rainbow Boas - Brazilian, Columbian, Argentine, Guyana, Peruvian. I’ve seen Columbian Rainbow Boas before they just seemed slightly duller than the Brazilians. But I’ve never seen an Argentine, Guyana or Peruvian. I tried googling them and in the pictures they looked exactly like Brazilians so I’m wondering if they’re really that similar or if those pictures are mislabeled. And if they are that similar why is the Brazilian so dominant?

So there are approximatly 11 different subspecies of rainbow boas, the difference being colour,pattern, and size. Just depending on the region they are from some will look similar to a brazilian but wont reach the same size, brazilians being the biggest reaching up to 7 feet and the smallest the guyanan only reaching 4 feet. The brazilian is just the most readily available and I believe holds its colour the best throughout its lifetime. Hope this helped a little.
