Just as Gio said, BCC's are a more fussy with the diet and husbandry, they are less forgiving than BCI's on stuff like humidity levels and food size. Plus, they can be a bit more aggressive than a BCI, not always, but there is a chance. They are stunning though, nothing more beautiful than a flawless BCC.

So far zero aggression,no food issues,loves to be out,she is with me all day except after eating.She is flawless,the only thing I did notice is she is not the biggest fan of other people,she pulls away from them,no attempt to strike but she will pull back fast!

Still wondering about rate of growth and if she needs a hide because she never uses it.I have a 40g for now but I'm gonna custom build a cage for her,just wondering when she will need it

Colombians are BCI, not BCC. We can help ID from pics.

Umm yep,, Daybreaker nailed it there,,, and 99.9% this is the case and even though there are Colombian BCC's they are almost non existent in the hobby. I believe Vin Russo himself stated in his book he had not run across one in ages.

There is a Gus Rentfro photo of a COLOMBIAN BCC around, but as far as I know there is little data on them. It is extremely difficult to get true locality data on them.

You should post some photos for ID as Daybreaker mentioned.

The photo post will also help people give you advice on feeding as far as size goes.

Learning here is a great idea. Just try to get in front of the curve so you don't have to play catchup.

I am always looking things up lol,like I said I could definitely be wrong as to where she is from,I know so little about boas,as of now I only feed her food as big as the thickest part of her body and only once per week.Sadly this photo bucket thing has my technical abilities baffled.I would gladly text images to someone if they would help me out, pm me and I'll send them to you.I am very luck when it comes to ball pythons,I know a little and I got my friend Rudy on speed dial from cgroyals,without you guys here for the boa it would be books that don't explain one boa from the next!

Actually there are books that do a pretty good job. The Russo book I mentioned explains the localities to a T.

The is a smaller version of that book that does OK too. It is less expensive but has portions from the main book.

Can I get that book from kindle?I really wish I could figure the picture thing out😡I want to do everything right for her and I'm really proud of her to,I paid less then fifty for her if price range helps at all,if I had to compare I guess as far as the dealer/breeders behavior it would be the normal python of boas, she is the greatest to me but the fact she wasn't displayed and there were so many of them in the same cube on the table definitely on the lower or more common side of things, the more expensive ones were alone and displayed front and center but I think she is beautiful!
