What kind of Red Tail is this?
Hi! Just picked up this guy the other day, very sweet animal, got the guy down to $100, thought he was well worth it. Just curious what kind of red tailed boa is it? He is very light colored, with a faint pink tone. I thought he might be a Suriname, but I really have no experience with RTBs. Thanks in advance! :)

That is just a wicked snake eh!
Sorry I cant help you but I love the pictures.

Tks for sharing! :rockon:
Re: What kind of Red Tail is this?
where did you get it from? It has a few peru boa aspects, and usually I'm sure about what a boa is, but ya stumped me. My first thought was a cross.
Re: What kind of Red Tail is this?
It looks like a common boa(BCI) to me. Probably in light phase.

the peaks on the saddles and the tail are really throwing me off, that's why I said cross.
Re: What kind of Red Tail is this?
A VERY nice, clean Columbian BCI (commonly known as a red tail boa).
She may have some mix in her way back down the line, but it's common for Columbian BCI to have peaks just behind the head and a little down the body. Here's Kinky, my adult female BCI, for reference (with an adult female BP):

As far as I'm concerned, no boa is going to be 100% true BCI or BCC. Their territories overlap far too frequently, and I'm sure blood has blended at some points along the way.
Hope this helps :)

I love that light, clean color. Beautiful.
Re: What kind of Red Tail is this?
The head pattern and saddle markings makes me think it's a cross. Most likely Colombian, and probably Suriname. Nice looker!
Re: What kind of Red Tail is this?
looks like a peru. see for yourself. not an expert too, but worth a shot taking a look.

Re: What kind of Red Tail is this?
Really looks like a cross between a BCI and some sort of a BCC. The tail is staying very red and he doesn't seem to be darkening that much so maybe part peruvian or part suriname. Just my guess.
Re: What kind of Red Tail is this?
Imma agree with Becky....pale BCI, mixed history. I doubt it's peruvian - they have such a distinctive yellow.
Regardless, he's a beauty!
Re: What kind of Red Tail is this?
Has some B.c.c. influence for sure but I wouldn't put my money on it being pure. Gorgeous none the less!
