How can I tell if my albino is bcc or bci

[Evenstar]

1 way is the shape of the head. BCC have longer more narrow/arrow shaped heads.

Exactly right. BCCs have a much more spade shaped head. Or like an arrow as Gio said. Once you've seen one, its pretty unmistakable.

Her head IS awesome! I agree. You may want to treat yourself to a book called THE COMPLETE BOA CONSTRICTOR By Vincent Russo. This book really helps you understand localities and morphs. BCC's, BCI's, BC "you name it" (there are a few more LOL")

Kali, who has just a few snakes will tell you carewise and temperament a BCI in general is the perfect snake.

They are boas and all boas are cool!! That's the most important thing to remember.

I think you have a good one there.

Enjoy!

Aw, thanks Gio! And yes, I love the personality of my BCIs! They are wonderful snakes to work with! I would absolutely treat yourself to that book - it is FULL of great info. And the list Xfenrir posted is great. Another of our users, Vypyrz, put that together a while ago and I tend to reference it a lot myself.

Here are a couple of my BCIs.





And this is technically a BCI, but she has some BCC influence back there somewhere. She is a sunglow arabesque and the arabesque gene originated with BCCs. She doesn't show much BCC influence other than the pattern, but you can see a slight difference in her head shape. The picture isn't the best, but I don't have a pure BCC so its the best I can do.



Maybe someone with a pure BCC can post a good head shot so you can see the difference....
