I was just looking at a website (http://www.boa-constrictors.com/com/com.html) and I'm a bit confused about my boa. How can I be sure if she's a Columbian BCI or if she's a Suriname BCC? She came from a reptile rescue group where her parents both reside. Thanks!
She looks to be a bci, she has some nice pinks too.

Thanks! They look so similar IMO.
Simce yours is in shed, after it sheds you can count it's midbody scale rows to be 100% without a shadow of a doubt, sure on whether it is a BCC or a BCI. Referring to the Boa Constrictor Manual, it says that BCI have 55-79 and BCC have 89-95.
She definitely doesn't look like a Suri to me.

Thanks Andy! Guess I was just trying to go by color alone. My bad. Thanks again! It's nice to know for sure what I have :)

This is my female 'Colombian', although a bit of a bad picture. Would you say B.c.i. or B.c.c.? I have already decided what I deem her to be, just want to see wjat others would have an opinion on just by looking.

Here are the scale counts:
Dorsal/Midbody rows - 92
Inner Ocular scales - 19
Ventral plates - 240
Caudal plates - 50
