Nice.

[blackcrystal22]

I would say BCI.

Nice Hypo.

[ladywhipple02]

Agreed, Hypo BCI. And a very nice one at that. Kinda "junglish."

[Zach]

thanks for the replies guys... and yes she has insane colors, shes awesome and super tame already...

the thing i want to know is what is it that just stuck out to you guys that make you say BCI? i dont quite know the difference yet other than bcc and bci tells you where the boa originated from.

[SS4Luck]

the shape of their saddles determines the BCI/BCC name i believe, at least thats what the FAQ says

[Big Gunns]

BCI, but there could be some BCC blood in there. You would have to know the snakes lineage to know for sure.

[ladywhipple02]

True-Red Tails, or BCC, typically have brighter, wider tail saddles, and blockier body saddles.

You can also tell by counting their belly scales from snout to vent. BCI usually have 20+ while BCC usually have fewer than 20.
