Salamanta - São Paulo Aquarium

this particulat tank keep both rainbow boas and salamantas. Keep in mind i'm not the best on identifying snakes, so this might be a rainbow boa.
"Salamanta" and "Jibóia arco-íris" are both popular portuguese names that reffer to all of the Rainbow boa species and subspecies, so they can be applied for all the animals that are being kept on this terrarium. Just for clarifying things out, this is a Brazilian rainbow boa (Epichrates cenchria cenchria), which can be called either "Jibóia arco-íris da Amazônia" or "Salamanta da Amazônia". Só depende do gosto do cliente ;)
 
Thanks for the clarification @Velas, i was afraid i might have confused the snakes.

Also to be slighty more precise, the two species in the tank are this Salamanta and the Paraguayan rainbow boa (Epicrates crassus)
 
@Utahraptor You're welcome! Always glad to help out a friend :)

I imagined that that would be the case, since "Salamanta" is more commonly used for E.crassus and E.assisi, although I've personally seen it being used for E.cenchria and vice-versa. Maybe it was just the aquarium's crew putting those two different signs to help differentiate the animals.
