    Is it just me or does the boa in the pictures look like a common BCI and not a CA locality?

    I thought the same thing when I saw him but they are saying it is Central American boa.

    Those were my exact thoughts as well.

    It looks very much like Elenore, my 6 Ft BCI which at the minimum growth rate. Sorry, I don't know her age, she was sort of a rescue. I believe that she is 4+ yrs due to her minimum growth rate.

    See if they know who produced it or what locality of CA it is supposed to be.

    CA's often command higher prices than common BCI's, which is why they're labeled and sold as such, when they really are not. That's not to say that it isn't a nice snake that wouldn't make a great pet, but if you want it don't overpay for it.

    I had a couple of bias before I love them as well. I just wanted that particular one because he was cute. [emoji6][emoji851][emoji41]
