upon my statement about Bci being on the west side of the Andies and Bci on the east side I would like to say this. While the range of Bcc is great NO Bcc have been exported from Colombia in over 20 plus years. Everything in Amazonus is prohibited from being exported. All of the babies that are exported are from the Rio Magdalena Valley. Only snakes that are farm raised are exported. In 1992 I visited many of these farms personally and tried to get permits for Amazonus snakes to no avail. Virtually any Colombians on the market today are Bci period. There is one dealer in S. FL. who sells pretty Colombians as Leticia Boas but they in fact are NOT. I believe these sales have started the Leticia Boa missinformation and erronius post. Only in a small part of Colombia close to Venezuela do Bci have a chance of intergradation with Bcc. Western Venezuelan Boas look very much like a cross but it has never been proven. I think with time and DNA testing these things can be sorted out. Again there are NOT lots of Bcc coming out of Colombia misidentified as Bci. I've been to Leticia and believe me the boas look almost exactly like peruvian Redtails.. Sorry about the lengthy dissertation but there is much confusion and dissent about this subject...TC
