| Hello folks, I need something clearing up. Apologies in advance as I'm guessing this question has been asked many times before, but what is the difference between a bcc and a bci? And do they both come under common boa? If anybody has both a bcc and a bci could you put pictures up so I can see the difference? Thanks in advance :) |

The BCC or boa constrictor constrictor is generally called the red tailed boa, and the BCI or Boa Constrictor Imperator is generally called the common boa. I believe the saddles on the bcc are usually {} shaped and the BCI is more () shaped, although this is not always the case. Some BCI also sometimes get referred to as red tails as well and are sold a such, just to confuse matters. However the true red tail or bcc will significantly out grow the BCI.
This is my take on it, someone with more knowledge on the subject may have to correct me. |

| I asked Andrew about true Red Tails, he said they aren't often available and must come with a certificate to prove its a genuine red. |
