One more thing on genetics: isnt a b.c.imperator considered a "true" redtail where a b.c.constrictor is just a boa constrictor thats often mis-named for a redtail? Because I bought what I was told was a Columbian Redtail Boa for $120 but the reason Im a little scetchy is because is was a reptile house, not a breeder. And I do know for a fact that they dont breed their own. Now is there any way to tell for sure if it is a b.c.imperator? One trait I have been told is a redtail will rarely bite and is very docile, which is very true for mine. Hes the only snake Ive ever handled where you could rub the top of his head and he wont even acknolage the fact that your doing it.

Both pictures were 3 days before a pretty rough shed, I had just got him and he was very dry.
