Thumbs up Brazilian Red Tail Boas - QUESTIONs?

I have recently discovered that my two redtail boas may be Brazilian. The male is dark and speckled and the female is very light with speckles on her lower end. I'm not sure if the female is from brazil. How would I be able to tell?

What's the difference between red tails from Brazil and red tails from Colombia?

Does anyone know how to market baby Brazilian red tails? and whats a fair price to adopt to shops or breeders?

if you have any information, please let me know.

Thanks

You can't possibly be figuring a locale by the freckle count. That particular trait means nothing. Chances are, if you had a BCC or BCA from Brazil, the seller would have told you because there is a huge difference in the price. Show us some photos. It's not hard to ID a BCI. Exact locale...unless you have info on the lineage, it's all guesses. I'm a white guy from Texas living in Georgia. My grandfather on my dad's side was mostly Cherokee(3/4), My grandmother...Half or less than half Cherokee. My mother's parents were white Tennessee farmers from unknown to me lineage. My last name came from France. What's my locale? Boas in the US pet trade are often way more mutted than we want to believe. Typically, the Colombian BCI are not mutted as much with the higher end subspecies but more commonly mixed with fellow low priced Central American boas. This doesn't mean it's a 50/50 split. Very often the outside blood could have come in many generations ago and/or come in and out on numerous occasions down the line. Unless you go and catch your own or can trace the family tree all the way back to F1...You really know not what you have as far as locale if it came from a random basement breeder or a petstore. Very few breeders have records on BCI. If it's not dark and heavily saddled and is an obvious BCI, most just call them Colombians and they are probably at least mostly right.
