    "True" red tail boas are the BCC boas such as Peruvians, Surinames, Guyanas, etc

    Colombian BCI boas are commonly called "red tailed boas" though it's not totally correct IMO. I don't call my Colombians "red tailed boas".

    Bet on at least a 4' cage for adults BCI boas, and I recommend 6' for adult females and large males. You can look into dwarf boas but sometimes they can get just as large as Colombians, and if they stay on the smaller side they might not have the girth you're looking for.

    So if I see one listed as a rtb it's really a BCI?

    No necessarily, it depends on what the ad says it is. If you're wondering about a particular snake I'd post up the link to the ad. If it says it's a Central American then it's a BCI (CAs tend to stay a little smaller than Colombians), if it says its a common boa that's usually a Colombian, if it says its a Suri then that's a BCC boa, etc.

    Check out albino BCI's, they are really pretty, so are the sunglows.

    I would recommend dumerils. They are by far my most favorite boa. I can't get over their ski mask pattern. Plus their temperments are awesome.
