Please help identify this boa

[RickyNY]

He's being sold locally. Owner says its a male, 4 years old and a little over 5ft long. He says the boa is a Hypo Jungle Het Albino... but I leave that to you guys the experts. What kind of boa is this?:

Hypo, yes. The albino would have to be proven out - or not, along with the line (Kahl or Sharp).

I'm not the best at picking out jungle but honestly I'm not seeing much in that boa, though sometimes it's not well expressed.

Thank you BCR for your reply. So not a jungle... but a hypo BCC or BCI? Will it get to be 9ft long? I want a boa that will not get bigger than 6 or 7ft. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't look Jungle to me as well. Regarding whether it is bci or bcc, if it is a morph it is going to be bci (or a mix) as there are no available bcc morphs. It shouldn't get very big, but you never know animal to animal.

I'm going to go see this boy... I know to look at a few things: I'll ask to handle the boa, he should be calm and have a good temperament. I'll check for stuck old skid from a bad shed, I'll looks at its nose and mouth for bubbles. He should be flicking his tongue. Anything I'm missing? Thanks

Looks like a hypo BCI to me. I dont see the jungle in it and like mentioned, het albino would have to be proven by breeding.

It's not a BCC There are no BCC morphs except i did hear there was a couple albino ones caught in the wild but they didnt breed or something.

You cant miss a BCC. This is my Pokigron suriname and you can easily see she is a BCC.

A hypo male BCI shouldn't get much bigger than 7 feet and if he does it will take many more years.

Agreed with the others, definitely a hypo. I'd want to see the parents and litter pics to say if it's a jungle or not. If it IS a jungle, it's a very low expression and personally I'm not really seeing it. However hypo really screws with patterns so it may be possible (he isn't a hypo jungle I would by for jungle breeding purposes though). When people don't say what strain of albino 90%ish of the time and general rule is that it's Kahl strain.

I also usually check the vent and belly, should be no discolorations.
Good luck!

I see the possibility of a super hypo, due to the small bow ties and not a lot of black, but it would have to be proven. I don't see jungle.

Hypo BI aka BCI
Albino has to be proven & like the others, I do not see jungle.
