    Sold as a Colombian Red Tail Boa... is that what I got? haha

    That would be a normal Colombian boa constrictor. Strictly speaking, a Colombian BCI (boa constrictor imperator) is not a true Red Tail boa - that would be a BCC (boa constrictor constrictor). Same family, different subspecies. Your new baby is very nice!

    Another question... I went to add her into iherp and nothing pops up as "colombian boa" for the species. There are a bunch of boa constrictor imperators to chose from, but none are the colombian boa. The only other thing is "true red tail boa (boa constrictor constrictor)" which I know is not her species.

    Here are some screen shots.... What do I need to type to get her species?
