Hi, I'm trying to see if this is a BCI or BCC.

I have a friend that got this dumped on her, and she was only trying to help the guy out, as he was being chased out of the city...She is overwhelmed by it, and asked me to take it. So, is this a 100% Colombian Red Tail, or am I lucky enough to just have a chance to get a Nicaraguan red tail??

I'm going to read over the caresheet. I found a thread showing () and {} to help tell, but I still am unsure. She said it is a female as well.

Thanks for helping..

Looks BCI to me, but I am by no means an expert.

Definitely a BCI.

Please don't say BCI just to please me. If it is BCI, then this will make things so much easier. lol

Everything that I see about that boa says BCI. A nice looking one too...

Thanks everyone. Very excited. The setup she is in, is 48" long, 25.5" wide, and 17" deep. Was fairly big.

She was either yawning, or stretching her mouth, and heard a couple (heerrrpps) sounds, hard to define. Pressure from just moving on me?

I'm gonna say BCI as well.

Looks like a BCI, probably a Colombian. I'm not seeing Nic, but Nics are easy to come by if you ever want to pick one up.

The sounds could be stress related since she's new, sometimes I'd hear a little whistle from my boas when they were new and getting used to things. Just keep an eye on it.

For the )( saddle vs the {} saddles that is BCI vs BCC. Most BCC will have peaked saddles while most BCI will have the dipped kind (always exceptions)

so no nic? :-S what kind of size would I be looking at here then?? she is fairly heavy atm.

BCI definitely, probably Colombian. Size wise for a female 7-8 foot.

that's not too bad. 10 would be pushing it. Plus, when held, they don't seem that big.

thanks everyone.

So, I got her yesterday around 5pm. Cleaned her 48"x25"x17" wooden set up, which is not bad. I decided to try feeding her first day like I do all my snakes I get. I thawed out a huge 492gram rat. Around 8:30 I held it in front of her to see if she would go at like my balls, but nothing. So, I happened to read that "garbage disposal" thread luckily before I even got her...

Around 9, I went to check, and she had eaten it. Super happy. I'm guessing she is 6 feet for sure. Super thick.

I won't lie. Since this is the biggest snake, and strongest reptile I've ever owned, I did not sleep well. Why? I was a bit nervous about the first night, that she would get out. She is super calm when held, and hasn't even coiled or attempted to strike, so I have to understand that, and feel more confident.

I haven't given her a name. My last adopted female I named Crystal. I don't have any themes going on.

Thanks again everyone.
