    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

??What type of boas are these??

Hey

I recieved these boas as columbian redtails without getting photos first. What do they look like to you guys? They are actually more silver and golden than the picture shows.

Help me out! Thanks!

Oh yes! That does look like a Central American. However, from what I understand, within localities, you can have polar ends of the spectrum. In other words, there are Columbians that are dark like CA's and CA's that are light and red like Columbians. It's really hard to know for sure.

Here's one of the two I had last year. (I don't have them anymore. I traded them for other animals.)

That was actually the paler one I had of the two but I don't have any copies of the darker one on my computer any more.

And, yours have a nicer pattern...more circles! My two males had broken saddles.
 
i have a male who looks almost EXACTLY like that, circlebacked and everything. he might be a tad darker but thats the only difference. i was wondering what he is myself cuz he sure doesn't look like a colombian to me. he's maybe 4.5 feet and not grown much at all in the past few months......so i guess he's almost done growing....and definitely odd looking. his name is snookums. :)

If they're CBB BCIs, calling them Colombian, Nicaraguan, South American, Central American, whatever... Doesn't really fit. They're COMMON BOAS. BCI. Non-locality specific.

Call 'em what they are, and people won't have to ask these questions!

Personally, anything I cannot verify is simply called a BCI, or Pet Store Boa.
