Yea like jay and snakey jay said it looks like a beautiful BCI to me. Looks like a male too.

Well the coloration seems to suggest bci. But the saddles to appear correct for bcc, and bcc does have 2 regions that don't have the striking red-tail...here's a website that tells u what else to look for scroll down past the stats. Good luck hon!
Oh personally, my opinion agrees with everyone elses ...bci...but there's a window of hope...check the belly.

the wide diamonds on it's sides suggest a BCI to me. i guess it is possibly it could be a mix, i doubt it though

how much did you pay for this boa?

The saddles are not even close to what a Bcc's saddles look like.

That's a bci. A nice clean dark bci like my big female.

Lol I guess it doesn't help that the pic is actually too dark for me to see.

BCI by appearnace of coloration and approximate saddle count. BCC generally have low count of saddle snout to vent <20 where BCI have >20 saddles

it is a bci since the sattles are smooth and are curved like a C, bcc's are alm ost like a swiggle

You're right about it being bci but not all bccs have swiggle saddles, with a peek in the middle. Take some of the peruvian bcc for example

Since we have so many threads like this... can one of you boa people tell me if this diagram is accurate?

Looks accurate to me. That's just the bccs though. I believe Jay has a thread with something similar to this but with bci, bcc, bca, bco...

its pretty accurate, but like everything not every Surinam Bcc is going to be the spitting image of a 'poster perfect example'

The OP's snake is a Bcc as has been said, there is nothing even remotely Bcc about it, absolute classic Bci.
