Hi Guys,
I have a Boa Contrictor, but I am unsure of the differences between a BCC and a BCI? I don't know what my one is? Can someone help me please.
I cant upload photos where I am but if you click my facebook link below you can see him on my page....

BCC tails are a very vibrant purplish tinged red and they can keep this color even into adulthood. BCI tails start off vibrant red, but usually dull out to a more brownish hue in adulthood. Your BCI looks fantastic, Cookie and looks to be about the same size as my male, Diablo. :)
Hey, thanks for the info, really helpful! I love my BCI, had him now for roughly 3 years. He's called Bob lol I had went to the petshop for a new viv and ended up getting him and the viv for a good price so couldnt resist lol Have you a picture of your dude? :o) |

no problem. the true red tail BCC's have the bright red tail, come BCI's have a red tail but not as bright.
there are other ways to tell but cant remember what they are.
theres a good boa group on facebook the people on there will be able to explain the differences

Lol MTV rocks!
I had initially wanted a red tail boa, they are beauties, but I ended up buying this dude one day when I was only looking a new viv! He was soo skinny when I got him and he can get pritty grumpy at times lol
Thanks for the advice dudes. This forum rocks, dunno how I never came across it before lol |

Oh dear, MTV! really? -tuts-
I'm not great with boa's but I believe BCC is the red tail Columbian Boa which is obviously very red on the tail?
Correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure Chris knows more about this than I |
