That is definately a Colombian redtail boa. They are not true redtails. Colombian redtail boas are Boa constrictor imperator while true redtails are Boa constrictor constrictor. It can't really just be a redtail boa, they all have to come from somewhere (I suppose a mut could be considered just a redtail). The fact that it's Colombian only means that that's where it or it's bloodline is from. Boa constrictor imperator is also found into Central America. While I have seen a few grey adult Colombian boas and plenty of grey juvenile Colombian boas, most adults are tan/brown. Cameras don't like to capture their true coloration. Good luck with it.
