    The other 2 have some BCC influence. What percentage I can't say, but it's there. You won't see peaks on the saddles like that without BCC influence. However they are not full BCCs - or at least one isn't since it is apparently het albino. There are no morphs in BCCs unless they are crossed with BCIs.

    To be clear, what you have here are not morphs. They are sub-species. You could say that the one that is het albino is het for a morph, but that's it.

    Again, they are nice. Incidentally, being part BCC, the female is apt to get fairly large..... LoL!
    The second one is pretty creamy pink in person to and the third is the male and the first is the other female is there any way to determine which may be het albino how big are we talking on the BCC influence compared to normal I will get better pictures up by next weekend what background would be best

    Taking pictures of boas of very hard, imo. At least mine. He won't hold still. I have to give him a prop to hang onto, then I can snap a few quick pics. So you might keep a prop handy.

    I do see the darker pigment in the 2nd one. Maybe a better pic outside of the tub.

    Take a look at younger BCCs from Brazil and Venezuela and compare those to the first one.

    Do you have a light tent? I would get some pics of the head, maybe profile like. Maybe close ups of the face and sides? As for color, idk. Maybe try some black, some white.

    I do not have a light tent but I can get plenty of pictures indoors and out doors if it helps

    For comparison purposes, here are a couple of pictures so you can see the differences between a Surinam BCC and a normal BCI. And also between a normal and a hypo BCI.

    Freya, a friend's female Surinam BCC


    His normal male BCI


    Peaches, my own female hypo BCI


    The BCC pic was taken outside so her colors glow, but note the peaks in the saddle pattern and her blood-red tail. Note the brownish coloration of the normal's tail and the significant speckling in his body coloration. Note how Peaches is very bright pink and there is a notable lack of black pigmentation - there is no speckling and no black bordering around her tail pattern.

    The first and last pic look BCA to me. Boa constrictor Amerali

    Bolivan red tails.
    They have peaked saddles and small tail. Those 2 have small tail vs the standard
    imperator boa.

    Saddles donesn determine locality.
    But things like short tails. Small overall size. And low vertal scale count
    Does.
    Imo there beautiful Bolivians. Iv had a couple that looked exactly like the first pic.
    Bcc boas happen to be some of the largest boas not including anacondas.
