Robin, I wish you lived closer so you could come and visit Kinky... your worries would be no more

I know 6-8' sounds big... but when you grow with them, learn their temperaments and attitudes, you still see them as babies. Big butt babies, but babies all the same!

VERY nice orange colors there! Those will come out more as he grows.

If he is Columbian he is considered a BCI... Boa Constrictor Imperator

Actually I believe there are Colombian BCCs as well... but definately not as common as the Colombian BCIs...

So if I remember this right.

BCI's have the more circular dorsal patterning.

BCC's have the widows peak dorsal patterning.

Correct! But they are quite rare, and would be very expensive. I suppose I should have clarified... when a boa is deemed a Columbian it usually means they are the more common BCI. I think someone selling a Columbian BCC would tell you it was a BCC

Here some more info on the Columbians (mentions both the BCI and BCC): http://riobravoreptiles.com/boas_colombian.htm

Actually, BCI's can have widows peaks too... though it isn't as common.

There are many differences: scalation, coloring, patterning. I posted one of his pages above, but check out Gus Rentfro's page, www.riobravoreptiles.com for more info on the differences between localities.

Rab, RDR has dwarf boas right now. I have seen them in person, and they can be kept in CB-70's to give you an idea of size. The biggest one I saw was definately bigger than a ball, but was still only 5 or 6 feet. Maybe would eat a large rat. But definately manageable. I plan to get a pair of them from him next year hopefully.
