There are several things to look at as noted above.Without locality data you'll never be 100% certain as some people have crossed BCC and BCI and sell the young as BCC for more $$. Other snakes may not show "typical" traits that are common amongst the species. Then there are these:http://i772.photobucket.com/albums/y...a/IMG_3172.jpghttp://i772.photobucket.com/albums/y...a/IMG_3181.jpgA boa displaying what a natural cross between BCC and BCI would look like according to Vincent Russo.This is a Barranquilla, Colombian BCI, and I've been told by very good sources that the breeder, Gus Rentfro was close to calling these BCC.There are boas from Venezuela, BCC and BCI that also stump some folks.That said GENERALLY, once you are able to see certain localities over and over you can develop an eye for making a good educated guess. This is not the same as scale counting obviously.To me, Going Postal's snake looks to have strong Suriname influence with the nice peaked saddles. BCC!THE COMPLETE BOA CONSTRICTOR By Vincent Russo really is a great resource for you if you are interested in "Whats what".
This is how mine looks. Body color she's a light one not a dark one and the same tail color!

I highly suggest looking at this if you have Facebook.
These are some of the best examples of locality animals on the planet. His Peruvian stock is simply the best in the world IMO.
It is a crying shame Gus is no longer working with BCs.
Luckily LEGACY REPTILES has taken a great deal of Gus' stock and are staying true to the breedings.
If your snake looks like mine, go to the "Colombian" section in the photo album page here. There is even a picture of my BC as a juvenile in there.
There is currently work being done that may change BC classification in the future. DNA is becoming more and more useful when looking at these guys.
If you are a purist it is paramount.
I am lucky to have 1 true locality animal. However, my coastal carpet python it a mutt, and my normal royal python is assumed to be just that, normal and nothing special.
Although I never have heard much about locality royals, it seems to always be about the morphs which is understandable.

If you're looking for locality stuff, you can check out Vin Russo at Cutting Edge Herps or Legacy Reptiles. I'm personally more of a morph guy but Vin does a have a gravid pure Hog Island which might be pretty tempting when he starts selling the babies. Just have to weigh it against the hypo jungle het kahl albino male I want to get for possibly future breeding to my sunglow girl :D Gotta love those junglows!!

I can't see them or even a link.
I'm sure bcr229 is correct, but I'd just like to see the pictures for the sake of seeing them.
Did I miss something?

You gotta look in his profile in his gallery. He has 2 pictures. And yes that is a BCI. Technically its a BI as now there is no more Boa Constrictor Imperator or Boa Constrictor Constrictor. Its now either Boa Imperator or Boa Constrictor but whatever right? :D
