Can some one tell me what they think this is? I've had a lot of people tell me different things so I'll let the experts be the judge of it.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....

Ok let me correct myself I know it's a red tail boa I just don't know what type it is. If it's a normal with really pretty coloring or what?

Gorgeous! What a tail!
Are we talking species or morphs?
In terms of species, it is either a red tail boa, Boa constrictor constrictor, such as those of Suriname, Guyana, and Peru, or a common Northern boa, Boa constrictor imperator, which are located throughout North America, most commonly Columbia. BCIs are often labeled as red tails, although they are very different.
The saddle count and the tail coloring leads me to believe that it is a BCC, but the head shape and the upper body coloring (primarily the lack of pink and speckling) suggests it is a BCI. It could also be a cross between a BCC and a BCI.
BCC morphs are virtually non-existent. I do believe albino Suriname BCCs have been produced, but are extraordinarily rare and would cost a small fortune.
Columbian BCI morphs are extremely common and can range from $100 to $10,000. While I am no expert, I do not believe that yours is a morph. Pastel is a possibility, but the major lines of pastel boas were selectively bred with a much cleaner pattern. (Imo, I really like speckling on a boa, I don't know why breeders prefer them clean.)
In any case, that is one amazing snake!
