Pic's are dark but I only count 19 saddles, which would point to it being a BCC. Word of advice though although I hate doing this, you should treat those snakes for mites right away. I just purchased a snake from “snakepete” last month and it was riddled with mites. Luckily I noticed them crawling on the snake as it came out of the box before it even made it into my home, so it went straight into the nix.

Good luck, Hope you didn’t put them anywhere near any other snakes you might own. Mites are a pain to get rid of.

Thanks for the info Trevor

Devon,
Saddle counts are completely inaccurate, as many people are breeding for fewer saddles in Bci. Both my Bci have less than 20 saddles snout to vent, and my male still makes it under the 22 mark if you count tail splotches as well.

I agree it is inaccurate, . I believe one of my bci also has less saddles; it’s not always true you are right. but it’s about all you can go on with pictures

It's also inacurate at times because of crosses between BCI and BCC.
Cheers,
