Noob question on red-tail

So I bought this "High-pink Argentinian Boa" at a reptile show here in the great state of Maryland. I prefer to adopt my babies, but his/her gorgeous colors and super cheap price had me salivating. My research seemed to turn up no real leads on this species though. First off, it seems that exportation of Argentinian boas has been illegal for a number of years as they are an endangered species. Also, the Argentinians tend to be much darker, perhaps that is why the het mix leans toward pink instead of snow? Anyway, he may be a BCO but I'm not totally sure...any other thoughts on what I may have bought into? I will post a pick when I have a chance.

We need some pics to be sure.. but many pure BCOs have a lot of pink. A light to dark gray base color (baby and juvenile Argentines are much, MUCH lighter than sub-adults and adults) with pink along the sides, top, and head are common. The pink tends to dissapear with age.. and their color darkens considerably as they get older.
