BCI or BCC im so confused?

[calypso616]

Ive been trying to figure it out but i dont see the trade mark patterns of either i gues i dont have a good eye for this. any help would be great if u could also tell me why its either or that would be super

Hmmmmmmm....I'm hardly a boa expert. I wouldn't even call myself a boa novice at this point. LOL But I'll hazard an opinion anyhow. Based on the colors, I would guess BCI....but based on the saddle shape, I would wonder if maybe he had a little BCC mixed into his heritage somewhere along the way.

Regardless though....gorgeous snake!

Looks like an abberant BCI to me but unfortunately unless you have details on where it's from or who bred it, no one can say for sure 100%.

Where was it acquired?

[calypso616]

I got it from a local reptile store. I think they said they bred hatched them themselves. I didnt see the parents. i ask them today for more info. This particular snake has been bugging for days, ive been looking at everyone elses red tails and mine doesnt have a single pattern i resemblance. Thats why im so lost would pictures of certain angles or parts?

Sometimes babies are born with abberant patterns like yours. It's not uncommon, but it's not the normal pattern.

It looks like a really nice looking BCI to me. If you want to really find out, then you may want to try and go back to the pet store and ask to see the parents.

[Patrick Long]

Well seeing as how the pet store told you they HATCHED the boa.....

....Im 100% sure you have a normal BCI

Looks like a beautiful Bci to me.
The eye on the top photo looks funny to me. Maybe it's just the picture, but is there a stuck eye cap or mites?

I think the flash just dilated the pupil a heck of a lot, and you are seeing the tiny color of the eye.
