BCC have higher scale count and fewer saddles, dut the easiest way is to look at the markings on the bottom half of the body, towards the belly. BCI will have a washed out look on the bottom as compared to the top. BCC bottom markings are generally crisp and bright on the bottom half, just as they appear on the top half. Oh, and BCC are more expensive!

Hope this helps...

that did help. I was just wondering b/c i ended up with 2 RTB's and they just looked so different. one has passed away from IBD. (she was quarantined so nothing else was affected) so i cant look at her now. I have a male and the one that died was a female. (they came from different places) the female had a very loooong head. she was almost an anery, if it hadnt been for the pink cheeks that gave her away, i would have thought for sure she was. she didnt have as many saddles but i dont remember as well now her color was very crisp. she always looked like she had shed 20 minutes ago and when she did shed- holy moly! get some sunglasses and an asthma puffer. shed take your breath away and blind you with her brightness. the male i have just looks like a standard RTB. hes got a lot more saddles than usual i think. he's 7 foot and hes got something like 20-25 saddles, including the ones down the tail. they're barely an inch apart. he's not very bright...ever.... he looks great when he sheds but a few hours after, he isnt nearly as bright. I just wondered if maybe one of them was bcc... but probably not. thanks though, its good to know-
