    What type of boa is this little girl?

    LPS has this labeled as rtb but obviously it's anything but that.
    Here are a couple pics.
    First is with flash second is with out.

    Yes. Normal Colombian BCI. Not a "true" red tailed boa which is a BCC.

    What are they asking for it? You can pick up a normal BCI off fauna or kingsnake for about $30-40. And that one looks thin. They should have a nice lean look to them, but that one looks actually skinny. Just my thoughts - could be the camara angle too.

    Skinny is what she is! Yes, she is most certainly a Boa constrictor imperator. Pet stores and reptile keepers alike tend to call them red tail boas. Locality is often difficult to determine unless genetic background is known, but pet stores usually only sell the most common: Colombians or Colombian hybrids.

    I immediately thought thin too. Given the size of her head to her body. Might try to find a healthier snake, IMO. Looks BCI though.

    No I'm sure they don't have the papers. Would she be worth 130 if she were het though.

    And I'm not planning on purchasing her. I was just wondering what she was. I get all my little snakeys from reptile show. I buy my feeders from this store.
