What kind of boa is this?
Now that i'm more experienced, i want to own another boa. I had this boa in 2008 but had to sell it because i didn't really know what i was doing, so i didn't want to mess anything up and cause it to die. Here are pictures.

Re: What kind of boa is this?
I'm not a boa person, and I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's just a red-tail boa. Not sure if it's a specific kind of RTB or anything like that though.

Re: What kind of boa is this?
If I recall correctly and easy way to tell has to do with the saddles but I don't remember the rules, sorry.

Re: What kind of boa is this?
The shape of the red markings on a bci is also slightly different from a bci to a bcc. It's sometimes hard to tell with all the poor bloodlines.
Here is a picture of one of my bcc guyanas.

Re: What kind of boa is this?
First - sorry to the op for asking in his thread but I think my answer will help him as well.
So this is a BCI with some sort of pastel gene?
The colours are spot on on my iPhone. Same as the snake.

Terranaut: This looks like either a pastel or hypo to me, but more pics would help.
