    Here is a list of the different Boa Constrictor abbreviations:

    Red Tail Boas are classified as follows:

    Boa Constrictor Constrictor (BCC)- These are the "true red tails." These are generally the largest in size and maintain their red tails into adulthood. The tail will normally have a distinct red color that ranges from bright red to a deeper, more blood red color. They come from:
    Peru
    Brazil
    Venezuela
    Suriname
    Guyana

    Boa Constrictor Imperator (BCI)- This is the largest group of boa constrictors. Their tail color normally ranges from a darker, more subdued red to a more common brown color. They include the boas from Central America:
    Colombia
    Panama
    Costa Rica
    Nicaraqua
    Mexico: Tamaulipas, Tarahumara
    and the insular islands:
    Hogg Island
    Caulker Cay
    Crawl Cay
    Corn Island

    Boa Constrictor Amarali (BCA)- Bolivian boa constrictors

    Boa Constrictor Longicauda (BCL)- These come from the Tumbes region of Peru. They are also known as the Peruvian Long-tail Boa, as they have a higher scale count from their vent to tail tip, than the Peruvian BCC.

    Boa Constrictor Occidentalis (BCO)- Argentine boa constrictors.

    Boa Constrictor Sabogae (BCS)- Pearl Island boa constrictors

    As well as, some of the lesser known sub-species:

    Boa Constrictor Nebulosa- Dominican Republic, Lesser Antilles
    Boa Constrictor Orophias- St. Lucia
    Boa Constrictor Melanogaster- Ecuador Black Belly
