I have seen a HUGE variety in all Bci and Bcc.. Its a huge possability that she is a Peruvian, as ive seen a few that had that same look. The only thing that would make me say probably not is the tail itself. But that does not make it 100% accurate. IMO she is a nice colombian.. Or a not "GREAT" example of a Peruvian BCC from Peru.. LOL .. I hope i explained myself correctly . Koky

There are two boas in that picture...

The one on bottom looks like a typical BCI, but the one on top is almost certainly a BCC of some sort, judging from the peaks and saddle count. Could be a Peruvian, although its floating saddles suggest otherwise - possibly a Brazilian BCC.

Perhaps, Koky, you are thinking the bottom boa (more visible in the second picture) is part of the same animal on top.

Do a scale count to be sure. Gorgeous animal either way.

BCI do not live in Peru. Count scales and look at a dist. map of the sub species. Looks do not matter. Yea science and research.
