Bcc tend to become larger. They also will have a more deeper red tail.

What about the others? Never heard of those.

No guess work required, that's 3 common boas you have there. No true Bcc to be seen I am afraid.

Hey Jay, Im really curious to find out where you got all these subspecies names from. Could you give me a reference? Are these coined by breeders or by biologists?
