Do you know the person well that you got this animal from because it looks like it is a wild caught animal to me...

When you have a close look at it you can see small scars on it that are probably the result of eating live prey etc and just the animals general overall colour which appears to look almost like a sun tan in appearance which is typical of wild animals. It may not be wild caught but i have seen so many wild BHP's with this type of appearance and thats just my opinion. If you know its origin and don't care either way then thats fine but if you are concerned about the origin you can always get a fecal exam done that will reveal alot about the animal in most cases.
The animal appears to be carying good weight and looks quite healthy.
Once again this is only my opinion and dont take offence to anything ....
Happy Herping
Paul

which is unusual for a captive bred.. unless they feed it live food.. hmmm
