    Looks like it could be a hypo BCI, which people call a red tail but it's not a "true" RTB.

    It could also very well be a Hogg Island. But I'm very green with ID-ing boas still.

    There are plenty of morphs out there, hypo/salmon tend to look light like this. But the more orangy coloring and the speckling, as well as the head, make it look like it could be a Hogg Island when I looked them up.

    Depending on the size of the animal in question I could see it being a B.C. Sabogae or Pearl Island Boa, but if he is over 4 ft long that is highly unlikely. It does look like he is a Hypo Columbian Common Boa.

    Whoops, I couldn't remember if it was one "g" or two! I always get it mixed up.
