is this really a bcc boa. i thought columbians are bci
Boa constrictor constrictor is one subspecies, its localities include Guyanese, Suriname, Peruvian, Brazilian, Venzuelan, and Colombian. 99.9% of Colombians in captivity are Bci. True Colombian Bcc are a very rare find, I believe due to part that they do not export out of that part of the country, maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong. The most commonly found in North America are Suriname/Guyana and Peruvian.
Other common subspecies include B.c. amarali (Brazilian, Bolivian), B.c. imperator (South and Central American, both mainland and island), and B.c. occidentalis (Argentine Boa).
Some other subspecies include B.c. longicauda, B.c. ortoni, and B.c. nebulosa. I might be missing a few, but your chances of finding those in captivity are very slim. The latter two are almost non-existent in collections, longicauda can be found however.

the reason i ask if that boa is bcc is because my snake has the same tail and has the dorsal saddles like that one. only difference is that it has some speckles between the dorsal saddles.
and the fact that that that snake is older and larger

Could it be possible that i got a columbian BCC ( like there order got mixed up).
Cause they said that this one looked nothing like the others that had had gotten in their history. they get their snakes from 2 different types of breeders.
1 for their colubrieds and the other only does boas and pythons.
the boa and python breeder has columbian bcc but sells them for very high prices (not sure how much i guess 30-40 thousand) but they said the biggest difference was the tail it had a black back round with a deep blood red. they were thinking about having sold with a higher price but they would have to redo the whole system.
and he doesnt sell them to pet stores th at often.
and the petstore doesnt do the bcc or bci they just say extremly exceptional so and so or normal.
mine was a extremly exceptional

they said that this ones parents were different . he told me that they were from Mitu.
he said that sold it as they bought it as. no care what so ever if it is a bcc.
now if i am correct dont the bcc columbian come from Leticia.
