If something is off, it will let you know. I personally believe that a boa's attitude or temperament is based on the care that it is given. Most experienced observers can tell a Constrictor constrictor from a Constrictor imperator at a glance at any age but it is certainly true that a lot of smaller boas require a close look especially if you haven't looked at a lot of Boas. I feel it's a good practice to treat all ssp. BCI tend to me more tolerant to errors than BCC as they can be sensitive if not cared for properly. Husbandry wise, they are the same generally. Once you have looked at tons of photos between the two, it's very clear on the difference. Again, you just have to look at a lot of photos to see the difference. BCC have a more rectangular shaped body while a BCI is more rounded. BCC have larger looking heads and are quite different looking than a BCI. Ruling out the different saddle and scale counts, tail color (overall color), the morphological look (head shape, body shape etc) are very much different. (BCC and BCI) are as clear as night and day. Depending on what subspecies you get, sex, how often you feed, cage temps, genetics ect will aid in your boa's growth. Even more so one that is in good health and not obese. They do attain great lengths, but it's very uncommon to see a BCC over 10ft. You'll hear a lot of, "BCC get 8-12ft" or whatever. Every boa grows at a different rate, regardless of the ssp. To save time, we'll say you are asking about Colombian BCI and not Colombian BCC.įor the most part, yes, BCC get bigger. But they are very very very uncommon in the pet trade. However, to confuse you more, there are boa from Colombia (for the most part referred to as BCI) that are true red tails (BCC). Red-tails are Boa constrictor constrictor. In the pet trade, most Boa constrictor imperator are referred to as "red tails".
