Dwarf Boas

I love dwarf boas, one day I have aims to get my talons on a little Bluefield Nic like SPJ's or a Caulker Cay or one of each. :D

Jeanne, those're Nicaraguan boas, BCIs from that location.

Boa Constrictor Imperator (BCI)
Those are Bluefields locale Nicaraguans.

I thought Nic's were darker in coloring... learn something every day..

Just a question... how do you distinguish which locality a BCI actually is, markings? colors?

They are! I love the natural Anery leaning they have. I'm keeping my focus on the Asian rats, but I'm really wanting a pet dwarf boa or two down the road. :love:

This page confuses me: http://www.riobravoreptiles.com/boas_colombian.htm

I thought the Common red tails were BCC's?

No.. the common colombian red tail is a BCI.

BCC are larger, typically have widow's peaks in the pattern (though not all) and keep a much brighter color throughout their life. Localities include surinam, guyana, and peruvian.

Hmm, the book I have describes BCC as the Common Boa, and BCI as the Central American Boa. Is the author of this book miskaken?

Also, I was under the impression that Common Boas are the largest of all the boas?
