Greg,
....Your Boa Constrictors look to be Boa constrictor imperator. These snakes are commonly called Common Boas, Central American Boas and most often Colombian Boas. They are sometimes called Colombian Redtail Boas though this name causes some confusion with Redtail Boas from Guyana and Surinam which are Boa constrictor constrictor. Your snakes look like they might be from from Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua or thereabouts. Nice snakes!

Thanks. I have a 3rd one i did not post...but it looks the same as the large female with the bright red tail. I was curious because the other one in the pic does not have the same markings as the larger one..as far as the color in the tail. it's not red at all...pretty much the same all the way back.. like a common boa. but you can tell as well in the pic but the large female's tale is very red...

The first one looks like Constrictor Constrictor to me, possibly a Guyanan. Dark BCI don't have tails like that, and the head shape is a ringer. The second animal is a BCI.

the first one looks to be a BCC (trueredtail) The tail is a dead giveaway

the first one is BCC - looks sort of Peruvian with the dark, thinner hourglass saddles, I've seen some Suri's with that look too though.
The other a BCI common.

Peruvian BCC would be my guess with that one with the huge red tail

It has too many saddles and no middorsal extensions on the saddles. I still think it is an imperator.
