I can tell you what they mean, but I can only guess at what she is -- I'm definitely not a boa expert... LOL :)

BCC = Boa constrictor constrictor
BCI = Boa constrictor imperator
BRB = Brazilian Rainbow Boa

My guess would be BCC... but hopefully someone who actually knows and isn't just wildly guessing will jump in here... LOL...

HTH a little bit...

Common Boa Constrictors are BCI, True Redtails (Guyana, Suriname, etc.) are BCC

Your right.. from that picture she looks to be BCI... colombian like you were assuming :D

[Linds]

Asphyxia looks to be a BCI aka Boa Constrictor Imperator aka Common Boa (sometimes referred to as a Colombian Redtail, though I don't like to use that name since they aren't Redtails (BCC), they had that name tagged on them a few decades back as a marketting ploy to make more money).

A few more abbreviations:
BCA - Boa Constrictor Amarali
BCO - Boa Constrictor Occidentalis
CRB - Colombian Rainbow Boa
ETB - Emerald Tree Boa
CRT - Colombian Red Tail
ERS - Emerald Regurgitation Syndrome
CBB - Captive Bred and Born
CB - can be tricky, sometimes it can mean Captive Bred, but it can also mean Captive Born
CH - Captive Hatched
WC - Wild Caught
ATB - Amazon Tree Boa
