BCI, a normal Red Tail Boa

Agree, it's a normal Colombian red tail boa, or Boa constrictor imperator.

I don't like seeing the bci's labeled as a "Colombian Red Tail" because they are not.
BB has it correct. It's a common boa constrictor.

I agree with this, although the pet trade labels them as such, so I tend to include that name when speaking to beginners.

I agree. Instead if continuing the mess the pet stores have created we should give the beginners as much correct info as possible.

Well, ya know...if you want good information, the pet shop is the last place you should go. It's rather like asking a MacDonald's burger flipper for gourmet meal preparation tips - it's not their fault, they're just not paid enough to bother learning, and they'd probably be told to stop learning and get back to work if they tried because it's a business. Businesses need to make profit to keep their doors open, so...

You've come to the right place - we're not here for the money, we're here because we care and love to continually lean as well as share insight :)
