I just got this girl the other day and don’t know what she is. The guy I received her from got her in a trade at a show and he was a python guy. So what do you think.

Looks like perhaps a BCI/BCC cross. Saddle count and pattern look very BCC'ish (like a Guyana) but the color and tail boarders look BCI. Just a guess though. No real way to be sure from just looking.

I would have to agree with that, but looks like it has more Peruvian blood than Guyana/Suriname. Possibly Venezuelan...

Gorgeous, unique boa either way! Good luck!

The saddling looks a bit thick and "peaky" for what I would think a peruvian would look like. There are plenty of yellowish BCI that would account for that snakes color. Once again no way to really tell from looking but that is just the impression I get from that pic series.

I have to agree with danktat cause I have never seen a peruvian with peeks like the ones on that boa, and I've seen plenty of guyanas with those colors.
