Yes,
The Brazilian boas have a unique look to the saddles and pattern that is different form the other BCC. However all of the true reds can have variation and there are some stumpers out there. I replied last night but I've been having some computer issues and the post didn't stick here I guess.
If you go with a Colombian, non morph I'd recommend a locality like mine if you want something interesting. These share BCC and BCI traits and they were almost called BCC by the breeder but he felt they didn't meet all of the BCC parameters. Legacy Reptiles works with the very same lines that my guy came from.
These 3 different pictures show how the pattern and coloring look different depending on lighting and background.
As for caging, I tend to like bigger cages for boas. They are active if not over fed. They will climb and I don't like caging that is less than 18" for them. It is personal preference and not a rule. However if you want to see a lot more of their natural behaviors, give them space.
This particular cage is 48" wide, 30" deep and 20" tall. I wish I went 24" tall. I use radiant heat panels for all of my cages and they all look similar to this one. It is a Pro-Line cage from Constrictors NW.
Larger caging with some ceiling allows you to watch things like this.
This guy is perched just about every night.
