Hey everyone. Its been a while since I have posted and when I did it was in the ball python forum. I have a young ball python, she is a great healthy snake which I enjoy very much. I recently have also taken an interest in BCC and/or BCI's. I have spent only about a week researching them but have a pretty god idea on the care housing etc. I still have plenty of time to get the enclosure ready and all because I don't plan on buying one until I get back from a vacation I am taking in late September.
So to my question, I have seen many types of coloring on these red tails and its almost as if there are as many different types as BP's. I don't know which is the most rare of coloring but was wondering if it is really hard to find them with a more grey body with a bright red tail. Most the red tails I have seen in person and online are more of a red/brown body. It seems alot of babies have the grey body with rusty colored tails, but I like the look of the adults with a light grey body and bright cherry red tail.
Is that uncommon and/or is it real hard to find. Sorry if it seems like a rather idiotic question but I just can't seem to find the info I need on it. If you would happen to know what something like that will end up costing me as well I'd would welcome your input, btw I also want it to be a female.
Also from your personal experiences do you prefer either or BCC or BCI. I read and I am not sure how proven it is that BCI's tend to be a bit larger and less of a tendency to strike you as a baby. I am not to concerned either way with the size or the biting as long as its only as an infant which from what I read it is.
Thanks for any and all help and your time.
