    Smile Introducing Myself

    Hi I've been reading these forums for a while now and have loved seeing all your amazing boas so I thought I'd introduce myself and my snakes in case anything comes up later or whatever . I'm Joe, I'm 20 from London England and I have a 2011 Colombian BCI and 2011 Corn snake



    The boa was sold to me as a 2011 BCI Colombian Boa Constrictor and the guy didn't have a clue what the corn was it's dad was snow and mother was amel.
    I wanted to ask as I have read BCI have ( ) saddle shape but my boa seems to have some variances to this pattern:





    Is it normal for Colombians to have that pattern along their back?
    Anyway thanks for looking and thanks in advance for any answers/help I might get

    Very nice babies you have there! I don't know much about corn snakes, but he's very pretty. I love your boa! Welcome to the forums!

    Your boa's pattern is completely normal. BCIs tend to have ( ) saddles and BCCs tend to have { } saddles but it isn't a hard and fast rule. As an example, here is my 2011 BCI, Peaches. She is a hypo and that color morph tends to have X saddles, but you can see some variances in her pattern.....

    Thanks for all the compliments. The boa is the nicest snake I've ever owned, never displayed any aggression whatsoever and has eaten from the day I got her and never refused a meal.
    Winwizard - The corn does have white scales where corns normally have black and it has red eyes but I wasn't sure whether that made it albino as cornsnake morphs confuse me.
    Here's a head pic:



    And here's its' back


    Thanks again guys
