Some sort of BCI I imagine, but I'm not good with boa localities or even morphs.

Re: Luigi :)

Awww....he's a sweet looking boy!

If I had to guess I'd say Columbian BCI but not really sure. I'm just now beginning to learn the different localities of both the BCI and BCC. I can be completely wrong.

The one physical trait I've always loved about the redtails is their mustache's.

Re: Luigi :)

To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what the difference between BCC and BCI is. I've looked it up twice already and forgot each time... -_-

Re: Luigi :)

I'm still a bit confused by it, but I think it's a locality issue (similar to rainbows) as well as coloration, scale count, length, and head shape.

Most BCC's (boa constrictor constrictors) have a true red color on their tails. BCC's are the true redtail boa.

BCI's can have an orange or another off red looking color, are generally smaller as BCC's grow larger.

I used to have a place bookmarked that had pictures of the different BCI's and BCC's but I guess it got deleted because I can't find it now.

Thanks! I hope Luigi is a BCI then. The smaller the better haha

How much you paid can give you an idea. The cheapest I've seen a BCC rtb go for is a little over 200 for a hatchling. BCI's are typical less expensive (normals).
