    Is it just me or does the boa in the pictures look like a common BCI and not a CA locality?

    Those were my exact thoughts as well.

    It looks very much like Elenore, my 6 Ft BCI which at the minimum growth rate. Sorry, I don't know her age, she was sort of a rescue. I believe that she is 4+ yrs due to her minimum growth rate.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
    Mack The Knife, 2013
    Lizzy, 2010
    Etta, 2013
    1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
    Esmarelda , 2014
    Sundance, 2012
    2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    See if they know who produced it or what locality of CA it is supposed to be.

    CA's often command higher prices than common BCI's, which is why they're labeled and sold as such, when they really are not. That's not to say that it isn't a nice snake that wouldn't make a great pet, but if you want it don't overpay for it.

    I had a couple of bias before I love them as well. I just wanted that particular one because he was cute.
