Help new snake previous owner knew very little

[Direpython]

Hello guys first post here. I am just curious I just bought a snake from someone. They said about 4 years old and all they could tell me is he is a hypo red tail boa. anyone hazard a guess to what kind? Also he looks really pink to be a hypo all the other hypos I seen are much darker then him. Only picture I can find that somewhat resembles him is a salmon hypo. Any ideas ?

With out lineage details it’s hard to say these days as bci (bi) boa imperata now has been pretty mixed up over the past decade or so , looks a really nice healthy snake tho with some great tail colour
Could well be Hypo so many different shades in hypos, hard to tell from the photo, enjoy your new boa

He looks a lot more pink, like my pastel hypo, than just hypo. If he is only hypo he's a nice one but as Richard said, with no lineage there's no way to know.

Pretty boy, enjoy your new pet.

Thanks for the response he is definitely one of the calmest most tame snakes I’ve seen for his size seems to me the bigger they get the grouchier they become. Maybe cause it’s harder for some people to handle a bigger snake here are some more pictures. Of his tail and his coloring and one of him just chilling he has been just chilling like that for like 30 mins lol

In those pics he looks just hypo.

Would you guess bcc or bci?

Dunno if it matters but he has 26 saddles
