Identify Species
Hey guys and gals...im new to this forum...i have asked on one other RT BOA forum what species this is...the only response i have got is that its a BCC....this is a baby i picked up in Seattlle WA about 2 weeks ago...i was only told it is a RT boa... after reading up a bit i see there are MANY different subspecies of RT BOA's.... if anyone can help me identify this i woould appreciate it..



note: i know there is no ABSOLUTE way to identify without knowing the breeder...im just wanting a educated guess....Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.

I'm not the expert (where's Dank or Gus?), but looks like it could be Guyanan or BCC/BCI mix?

i was told it is a BCC because it only has 19 saddles from top to the lil bumhole...i was told 21 or more saddles = BCI 20 or less = BCC....is this accurate?


note the black dot on the second pic...thats where his lil bum hole is

It's a guideline, if I recall correctly. I don't think most BCC's have such a brown tail, but I could be incorrect.

See the difference. Yours is closer to my BCI than the BCC.

EDIT: Comparing them again.. I may be mistaken. I'm not sure.
