Well, I have always considered "Colombian Bci" as an intermediate form. They are distinct from both classic Central American boas and Amazonian redtails. There are no serious taxonomists or experts that will doubt that. However, these "Colombian Bci" come from the Northern side of the Andes, while red tails (Bcc)occur in the Southern, Amazonian side. I have seen few samples from Southern Colombia and I must say no one could separate them from Iquitos Bcc, they look that similar. But there is nobody known in the US who would have Colombian Bcc in captivity, as Colombia exports only CB Bci.
And statement like "That animal is not a Colombian cause it has a dark ugly tail" is just way too swampy to say the least. So you have never seen colombian boas (Bci) with dark tail, blocky saddles, abberant patterns? I have and will try to find some pics...Now I attached one of mine, a 13 years old Colombian with pretty ugly tail.
