    Is My Girl A BCI?
    Hi, my girl (?) Abby was simply sold to me as a "red tail boa" nothing more. No hatch date, gender, anything. So, from the pictures i've seen on BCI vs BCC she looks to me like a BCI but I thought i'd see what everyone else thinks sense I really don't know anything about how to distinguish them lol...anyways here's the picshttp://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/...3/f7dbfd13.jpg

    Yes, she looks like some sort of BCI. Definitely no BCC.

    BCCs usually have some sort of "widow's peak" between their saddles, and their tails are quite a bit more red than a BCI's tail.

    Example (not my photo, click to view more sizes):

    You can see that her saddles are pointy (widow's peaks) and the tail is a more vibrant shade of red and doesn't fade as much as a BCI when it grows older. I should point out that this is not a normal morph BCC, the but the widow's peaks and tail coloration are what you should look at to see the difference between a BCI.

    Edit: Here is another example. And another. You're not going to find an adult BCI with a tail this red, and that's not even a stunning example (in my opinion).

    Looks to be a BCI just like my new one. Only mine is an Anery ;)

    The shape of her head, the shape of the saddles, and the color of the tail are classic BCI traits. She is a nice looking one too...
