    color question
    so im new to boas. never had one but would like to know a little more about them. i really like the little gray ones. of course they are red tails...i know that much at least. but im unsure of the orgin of them. i see alot of columbian and all that but don't know which ones are the gray ones. what i want to know is what are the gray ones called? and does the gray fade when they get older?

    I actually dont understand your question.

    The tail is grey? (if so, thats an Anery)

    Or the body is grey?

    Maybe you're thinking of the straight up Bci from Columbia or the Bcc Suriname??

    When they are babies, normal's seem like they have a grayish body, but often only in photos. I have had 1.1 het albino BCI's (still look normal) for about 2 months now, and when I saw the pics from the breeder, they looked gray, but when I saw them in person it wasnt as drastic. Still a little grey, but not like it seems in the pics.

    I havent been back to his site in a while, but look around at jimisnakes.com

    The only experience I have with this is to look at my own, young, normal Columbian Bci. She is 1 1/2 years old, very clean, and still an awesome gray colored body. No fading or dulling. I can take a picture of her in a couple of days; all the snakes ate tonight!

    Jimi and Pat will, I'm sure, chime in with more experienced responses :)

    Baby normals are born with a greyish look to them that will fade out and turn brownish as they age.
