Please help identify this boa
He's being sold locally. Owner says its a male, 4 years old and a little over 5ft long. He says the boa is a Hypo Jungle Het Albino... but I leave that to you guys the experts. What kind of boa is this?:

A hypo male BCI shouldn't get much bigger than 7 feet and if he does it will take many more years.
Re: Please help identify this boa
Agreed with the others, definitely a hypo. I'd want to see the parents and litter pics to say if it's a jungle or not. If it IS a jungle, it's a very low expression and personally I'm not really seeing it. However hypo really screws with patterns so it may be possible (he isn't a hypo jungle I would by for jungle breeding purposes though). When people don't say what strain of albino 90%ish of the time and general rule is that it's Kahl strain.

I also usually check the vent and belly, should be no discolorations.
Good luck!
Re: Please help identify this boa
I see the possibility of a super hypo, due to the small bow ties and not a lot of black, but it would have to be proven. I don't see jungle.
Re: Please help identify this boa
Hypo BI aka BCI
Albino has to be proven & like the others, I do not see jungle.
