just a little FYI... the "Colombian Red Tails" are the common BCI....
There is a lot of debate on this, but there are some true BCC Colombians out there. Gus Rentfro speaks of them, but it is pretty rare to actually have one. Just because locality data is so fuzzy when two different snakes inhabit the same area. Just thought I'd chime in on that :)

Although most of us think of the Colombian Boa as  Boa Constrictor Imperator, their are definitely distinct populations of Boa Constrictor constrictor as well as BCI / BCC hybrids  that occur in Columbia.  Today its probably a moot point however, as the vast majority of our little friends are captive bred and none of us knows for certain where their ancestors  were originally shipped in from.

Definitely.  Especially where territories overlap, the interbreeding between 2 locales is definitely occuring.

Yeah I did haha.  I'm not super savvy with forums at all haha. 


BTW, the girl has shed, she still seems swollen but hasn't been laying strangely.  I don't think she's pregnant...but not 100% certain on it.  She may just be ready for a male now

This is true, but I don't think I've ever seen a columbian BCC in captivity (in 23 years of doing this). Only way I'd call one a BCC is if a scale count proved it to be so.

Yeah man, I plan on counting.  He's not in my hands, as I have traded him and the female, but the new "owner" is one of my best friends.  So It'll be easy enough.
