It's from the Barranquilla area of Colombia. The Northwest area where the Andes mountains become lower. Although He is considered a BCI, in Vincent Russo's book THE COMPLETE BOA CONSTRICTOR, he goes into detail about that area and mentions how Colombians from that area differ from other areas because he feels there is an overlap of BCI and BCC. So yes, it's a BCI, but it according to Russo differers from other BCI because the 2 types interbreed. I consider myself the very happy owner of a common boa. To make it more confusing, Jeff Ronne, another well know boa guy considers ALL Colombian boas BCC and has his theories on the matter.

I don't have the total genetic answer for you. Really a taxonomist has to examine the situation. I tend to go with Russo and Rentfro when it comes to boa knowledge but there are certainly other opinions.

The Boa I have is an August 2012 breeding from Gus Rentfro. Joel and Orlando at Legacy Reptiles had him in their collection, but Orlando said they just had too many males to care for and had to let him go.

That's just plain good luck for me.

I also was seriously looking at a boa from Morti of Primareptilia. He was very helpful, and had a nice couple of males. In the end my kids were the pickers and I paid a little more, but I think I'm going to be quite thrilled when the un-boxing day comes.
