Best/cleanest BCC locality

[svtvenom]

I’m looking into getting a male BCC and I was wondering what localities are the brightest/cleanest(not too much freckling) and have the reddest tails?

I love this one. Would it keep that same color all it’s life? Is it a Suriname?



Also if anyone has a pic of them holding a full grown male BCC. I would love to see it.

There is NO cleanest, brightest locality. The BCC and BCI boas that are from certain locales are selectively bred for certain traits.

Some are bred for red tails, some for peaked saddles some for golden tones. Some for size, it all depends really.

There are many different locales in the BCC world. Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, Pokigigron Suriname, Iquitos Peru, Pucallpa Peru, the list goes on. There are BCC from Brazil and there are very rare Colombian BCC.
All have speckles to some extent in nature.

Every locale, while is in its wild forum, will not typically look like a selectively bred animal.

Personally, I find some of the darkest Peruvian boas to be some of the most beautiful. However I'm a big fan of natural coloring.

I have a locality Colombian BCI from Barranquilla, Colombia. He does have some speckling but not a lot. Perfect for my taste.



This line was selectively bred by Gus Rentfro of Rio Bravo Reptiles. There are 2 great members here with Pokigron Suris, (Sauzo and JMCrook) that also come from Rio Bravo stock.

It is completely up to you to pick out what you like. Each individual from a litter will have something that stands out.

Breeders can't predict which animals they produce will be the ones that become "keepers" until the snakes have matured a bit. Even then, the breeder may have a completely different idea of what is desirable to them compared to another individual.

Saddles, buckskin back tones, or the reddest of tails.

Look more at the breeder than the actual locale, and find who's breeding the boas you like the most on a consistent basis.

This is a male, BCI which is actually a natural cross between a BCI and BCC based on scale counts and other characteristics.



He's close to 7 feet give or take a small amount.

He's a good sized animal. I'm not a small person to give perspective.

Very nicely stated Gio! Keepers who do their research very often show it in their well thought out posts here.
OP, I’m new to the boa world but here’s my new boy, Leonard. He’s a 2018 pokigron suriname red tailed boa from Rio Bravo bloodlines. Dad was originally a holdback of Gus Rentfro before he got out of the boa business.

I’ve only had him a couple weeks but so far I love him.

Lots of bcc go through color phases as they grow often getting more freckling with age but they always keep that tail they are famous for.
I personally just have 2 guyana bcc at the moment but always keep my eyes open for a Peruvian or high peak Suriname bcc. North Brazil bcc is the ultimate bcc in my opinion though.

My guyana girl was pretty clean with an odd purple tint, but bcc seem to vary quite a bit as far as speckling goes.

Love all the speckling on her. Leonard has very little if any

Thanks. Yeah i like a little speckling too. Originally I liked really clean but the time goes on, i am preferring light speckling. Not a ton but just enough to add some pizzazz if that makes sense. She's actually gotten a little more speckling as those pics are kind of old.

Oh cool! Maybe Leonard will set some freckles as he grows too
