Colombian and Colombian Redtails have had a long misunderstanding. Colombian or common is what the herp population has the most. From my underatanding years back the Colombian and the Colombian Redtail names were so confused and mislabeled due to marketing and misinformation. Also you will hear BCI which again is Colombian. If your into the color morphs they for the most part started off the lines of BCI, or Colombian boas. As for size they can range from 5 - 9 feet rather easily. Having a tame rather relaxed animal even at 9 feet is for the experienced, but each case is different. This is why I suggest the Hog Island, they are slimmer and smaller than Redtails and even the Colombians. For the untrained eye, they look somewhat similar. A Hog is a great way to train and if your considering upgrading down the road they do influence your experience into Redtails later on.
