Boa constrictor imperator
Although now they’ve been designated their own species so it’s technically just boa imperator or BI. BCC or boa constrictor constrictor are true red tail boas. BCI are common boas.

So what does imperator "mean"?

I could be wrong but I think it's just a taxonomy classification. There's 9 or 10 I believe other than the boa constrictor constrictor. I'm sure it's Latin for something.

It means to command in Latin but it doesn’t really have meaning in regards to describing the snakes appearance or anything. It’s just the scientific name given to the species. Sometimes scientists name animals after things they think sound cool. I had an advisor during my undergrad that named a deep sea fish after a monster in monster hunter [emoji23]

Yes, there are several different species/subspecies of boa. Here's some helpful info :)

The coiled picture is from the other day. He is such a pretty boy, but I may be biased. I still haven't named him yet. Nothing has seemed to stick.

The peeking picture is from just a little while ago. He's looking for seconds. He just ate a weanling f/t rat - the size the breeder recommended. He grabbed it, then started swallowing. So glad he was already trained to f/t. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0317b7bd6c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...57798735e2.jpg
