For a long time, the Peruvian redtails were 
erroneously referred to as 
Boa c. ortonii.

We now know, that the boas from the 
region around Iquitos and Pucallpa
are Boa c. constrictor, distribution
area Peru.

 

 The basic coloration of the Peruvian redtails is mostly yellowish, some specimens like the one in the photo above have a touch of orange. The tails show a shining red color.
