I have a couple of boas that I have been wondering about for a while now. My albino female seemed a bit large (9' 5") to be an imperator she just shed and i did a mid body scale count which was 94 yes I counted several times. The information I have says that imperators have between 56-79 so 94 seemed way out there, so what in the world is she?
morphs are crosses anyhow....... no tellin what she is fully. definitly has alot of colombian, but there are others.
i have a pure 10' male imperator from northern colombia- he is my biggest imperator i have.
i say your boa was properly fed, thats all!
others dont reach their full potential because of inadequate feeding & husbandry!
post a pic!! i would love to see another adult albino

I personaly don't think that the boas coming out of Columbia are BCI I think they are BCC even though they physicaly look different than a suri or guyan. They definatly dont look like your tipical central american BCI. Has anyone else done any scale counts? What does your columbian count out to be?
I think it depends on where in Colombia the boas are collected. Those ones with a cross on there heads are definately not bcc thats for sure! That is not a bcc trait. I think some of the boas that are collected in the Llanos and dry forest parts of Colombia are truley bcc but look much different from the amazon basin phase.

boas hailing from the north of colombia are bci, the southerns are definitly bcc- proven!
i have all kinds of counts on my animals.
i will post MY bcc, bci counts here this weekend.
