She is beautiful! Congrats on your new friend! She is a red tail (BCC), yeah? If so, just be prepared to have a very large snake within a few years...

Im not to versed in different boa species but they said she is a Colombian Boa... i am most definitely preped for a bigger snake, just ordered a t10 for my bp and going to get at least that for Alice within the next year.

She's a beauty alright! Colombian boas are Boa Imperator, the most popular species and for good reason. Usually very healthy and hearty with great dispositions. Average size will be around 7 to 8 feet, somewhat heavy bodied, but all dense muscle. Now i wouldn't worry about getting a big ole' cage just yet, if you keep her on a healthful feeding schedule it will be 4 or 5 years before she gets anywhere near that size. Congrats!

Her head looks like a BCI, but her tail looks like a BCC. You should try to find out for sure. Either way, she's a beauty! There can just be a pretty huge difference in adult size is all. But, yeah... It will be a long time before she is ready for an enclosure that big. Great idea on just getting another snake while you're at it, though! You must be as bad as I am... lol

Good luck, do some homework.
Impulse buys can be fun, but often at the expense of the animal.
Make sure you quarantine.
