No, they are Colombian. There is nothing about them that hint at BCC other than the pattern. The pattern is the mutation. There isn't any way to make that pattern without it being the connected/laddertail pattern that it is. So if the pattern reminds you of BCC, that will always be the case. But there are no BCC parents in the history of these animals going back to at least three generations to about 1995, when the fact is that crosses were exceedingly rare. People didn't do them because it was frowned upon so much.

One fellow who was a very well known and respected Boa breeder crossed an Ecuadorian Boa with a Suriname Red Tail in around 1990. Both BCC but different localities. That highly respected individual came under such unbelievable pressure for doing so that many lost much of their respect for him. He never did it again. The greater cost of the true red tails would have kept the original breeder of the grandmother of these babies from having one anyone. They were just long term pet shop Boas.

The next "crosses" that were made were when Argentines were bred into Kahl Albinos and Surinams were bred into Sharp Albinos in around 1998 or 1999. The mother of my Key West Boa, shown above was born in 1999 or 2000 to Boas that were purchased in a pet shop years before then.
