    Congrats!! Looks like a nice baby. Certainly is a normal BCI from what I can see from the pics. But they can be very lovely snakes and this one looks to have some nice coloration and markings.

    Couple quick tips for you:

    1) Boas tend to enjoy slightly cooler temps than bally pythons. I like to keep mine at 88 hotspot and 78 ambient.

    2) Boas have much slower metabolisms and do not need to eat as large of prey relative to their body size nor do they need to eat as often. Even baby boas do well on a 7-10 day feeding schedule. Judging by the size of this boa, I would feed him every 10 days - he should do fine with that. And the prey item should not leave a noticable lump in the snake's belly.

    Hope that helps you!
