Sorry about yes it does looks like a silver back
.looking at the saddles the bat shape makes me think it can be a bcc
The silverback Bolivian's are actually a bca... boa constrictor amarali. nice looking snake!

Without any background information you can never know what genetic make your snake has, so you should always call it "Boa Constrictor". nothing more nothing less. That being said, it is a gorgeous snake!

I stated that it looks like a silver back and and looking at its saddles it might be a bcc .either orrr. I know that bolovian silver back does not run in same group as bcc
And ive seen people sell half 50% Colombian 50% peruvian,guyana, suri as pure blood the only way of knowing is by purchasing it from a reputable breeder or sending bloood work to the lab

If the breeder doesn't know it's impossible to say worth certainty what locality your boa is or even if it is a pure locality and not a hodge podgy.
Beautiful snakes though. I love boas and that's a pretty one!

There are a lot of boas with questionable lineage around, even more than boa's with known lineage.. Not knowing what the animal originally originated from, doesn't say anything about the breeders knowledge. This animal is obviously from a morph breeding as it is a possible het albino, so that is all it is and should be.

And most breeders won't even tell you what lineage it comes from to make that sale the best bet is to grow the boa until maturity and breed and see what comes out im betting some thing comes out real nice. I went to a reptile expo 2 years back and was looking for a male suri couldnt find one long story short bought a colombian orange tail hypo female for 50 bucks come to find out she was het moonglow het albinoxanery
