boa identity

ehdee · 05-13-03, 11:06 PM

can someone help me identify if my boa is a bcc or bci and also what region it might be associated with?
i got it from a breeder my coworker knows.
it has really pink pigments all over its body but its hard to tell by the picture because he is just about in shed.
any suggestions or guess are welcome.
thanks.

I agree with LdyDrgn bci

what are the differences between the two?

Overall color, really. Bcc have much more red to them. Bci can be real pink, we have a male here who is positively hot pink, but he is still a bci.

There are also scale difference between the two subspecies, B.c.c has more tail scales then B.c.i the other big difference is he number os saddles on the back of the snake B.c.c has very few wile B.c.i will have any where from 13-16 saddels. Hope this helps.

Colonel... saddle count is no longer a valid way to tell the difference between the two.
