Re: Looking For A BCC Breeder/Dealer
I know that the BCI and BCCs get muddled so as far as I've heard it can be challenging to find true BCCs
Jay could probably give some good info on where to find one

Re: Looking For A BCC Breeder/Dealer
From what I have heard, they get cross bred through generations so unless you know the WHOLE lineage of the dam and sire its almost impossible to guarantee it to be a pure BCC

BCI stands for Boa Constrictor Imperator where BCC stands for Boa Constrictor Constrictor
Both are a sub genus of Boas

No problem! If you go in the BCC/BCI section you'll see that there are a bunch more sub species listed as well as some really good info

Intersting.. Had no idea. I have been doing research for a while and the reason I was thinking of BCC is I hear they are less defensive/aggressive. I have no experiance with boas but I have handled a BCI 3 years ago and it did not seem defensive. Is their a true difference in attitude between the BCI and BCC?

Re: Looking For A BCC Breeder/Dealer
To be honest I am not sure (I am trying to use Jedi mind tricks to get Jay in here) I believe that BCCs tend to be bigger and may have a slightly different temperament.
I own a BCI she is roughly a year old and she is lovely. She tolerates handling, eats well and sheds well every time. I dont find her defensive at all. Then again a lot of these attributes will depend on the individual.
I also believe that BCCs may be the "true" red tails

Re: Looking For A BCC Breeder/Dealer
Yes pure bcc can be difficult to find, but not impossible. If a bcc will be your first boa I strongly urge you to do your research, they grow larger then common boas. They have a much slower growth rate doe to the fact that you need to feed them smaller meals.
As for them being less agressive, that's all up to the individual snake.
