Just picked up this 4 year old female. She is about 7ft and 9lbs. She was surrended to my local pet shop and they told me she is a true columbian red tail but im having my doubts. thanks in advance

I feel like True Columbian BCCs would be pretty well documented since you never really see them in captivity in fact I don't think I've ever seen one other than in old pics. But I really don't know. Please post pics we so we can help. Some people claim there is no Columbian BCC localities.

Shape of the saddles and color of the tail is the best indication of BCC or BCI. True red tails have red, not orange or brown colored tails. Also have more pointed saddle markings, BCI's have more square saddles.
As Daniel said, pics would help, but you need to make a few more posts on the forum to upload pics.

Lighting isn't so good to tell the coloration but it looks BCI to me. There is always the chance for it to be crossed with BCC but I'm confident in saying I see BCI influence.
