To be honest I'm not sure I got him a few years ago from a friend of mine who could no longer keep him- I'm more into the Ball Pythons, and I probably would never have gotten a Boa if it wasn't for her generous 'gift' . But he's been a good boy, docile and a great eater, and since I got his *huge* custom-built tank along with him I didn't have to buy/build a giant tank myself, which was my main problem with having one of these guys. I'm nearly 100% sure he's a BCI, not a BCC, but beyond that, I have no clue. Dunno if that answers your question or not...
