    Looking for a boa question

    So far I've only had ball pythons. I'd like to get a boa soon. I'm not interested in any of the boa morphs really, but I'd like to find one with a nice bright red tail and a fairly clean pattern on the rest of its body. Most of them that I've seen have a dirty looking pattern on its body with alot of black specks and a not so impressive "red tail" if you would even call it that. I know that there are alot of different types of boas. From what I've found, it seems like Guyanan BCC are what I'm looking for by looks. Are there different types of BCC or are Guyanan the only BCC ones? Is there a different type that fits what I'm looking for better? Thanks for the help!!!!

    I second that. Gus has some amazing snakes and is a super nice guy. He knows his Boas. He also has a lot of information on his site to check out.

    And then check out jimisnakes.com for more amazing boas and especially boas that a new boa owner can take care of. Head for the Bci's and not the Bcc's (my opinion) given that the Bcc's are much less forgiving of husbandry errors.
    Jimi has amazing snakes right now- though I'm probably biased since I'm getting one tomorrow and another one next year from him!!
    Jimi's boas ROCK!!!!!

    Also on the BCI's. Try looking at Pastels. They have a little more coloring, and a lot less speckling. My male pastel has very, very little actually and he looks nice and clean!!
