Need help identifying Breed
Hey guys, so i'm just looking for some help/info about this girl here.
I believe her to be atleast PART red tail boa, however the excessive amount of dots on her circles lead me to ask you guys if she is a known morph or cross of some sort, since my male red tail boa does not have any of the spots.
if someone could help me to understand/figure this out that would be GREATLY appreciated!
Take care everyone ![Smilie](http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Re: Need help identifying Breed
Looks like a BCI. Could be some other locality in there, but I dunno.

boa constrictor imperator.
True red tails are boa constrictor constrictor.
Your boa constrictor doesn't look like it has any BCC influences so I wouldn't call it a red tail boa.

Re: Need help identifying Breed
A common boa, boa constrictor impertor, BCI
Take your pick, nothing wrong with Bci, got two myself, red tails are nice but need different husbandry (size) and feeding requirements.
Also I would assume your other snake is also Bci.

I actually prefer BCI over BCC.

Your snake would be under the category BCI. I can't tell from just looking at the picture but BCI are colombian boa constrictors, hog island boas and other dwarf/Island boas...etc. If you do a quick google search BCI vs BCC you should find out everything you need to know.

When you see the term BCC or BCI, it is referring to the genus and species (and further, the sub species)...
Boa is the Genus name
constrictor is the specific (or species) name...this by the way is not a capitalized name
imperator is the sub species. constrictor is also a sub species name in this instance.
Same with Morelia spilota spilota (diamond python)
vs Morelia spilota cheynei (jungle carpet python)
