    Go here for a little more help. Just like here there are some addicts of the boa type.

    Appears to be a normal or "common" Colombian BCI. Very nice though.

    Oh really? She looked more muted than the other boa, but I believe commons can have different base color forms. She looks pretty grey-based to me, but I only know an inkling about morphs.
    So far I only have "pets" but my girl really wants to get into breeding
    She lovess baby snakes!

    I'm with evenstar it's a normal/wild type Bci. They are quite variable and even within a litter you can see a vast array of looks.

    Yes. Really. As Darryl said, the common Colombians can be quite varied. These are some of mine - all are "normals" that were selectively bred for color.





    99% of the time if someone does not know what their boa is, it is normal. That does not mean there is anything wrong with normals or that they aren't as pretty. Normals are magnificent! Check it - I have 3 in my collection and they will all be part of my breeding program and I'm sure I will acquire more. But normals are more common. Morphs just don't hop up out of the grass at a pet shop and in almost every case if you are buying a morph, whomever you are buying it from will make sure to disclose that fact - morphs generally bring a higher profit after all. But enjoy your normal - they are special snakes.

    That's what I was thinking, but she still has some red.
    I'm fine with her being a pretty normal
