Thanks! I can never figure out which is which. He is absolutely beautiful, the pics just don't do him justice (but I guess that's usually the case, huh) Here are three more I just took.

I don't have an opinion cuz this one screams debate but by the looks it is all Columbian but by scale count??? That is why some say that their columbians are bcc. I believe that is why Jeff Ronne calls his columbians bcc cuz of their scale count. But columbian is under imperator so about as clear as mud as Dave C. would say huh lol

NP

but unfortunately the boas are classified by scale counts, dorsal count among other figures which none of them are subject to the "look" department. The ? was why do some people call their columbians bcc so I answered that ?
Bob

Everything about that boa screams imperator to me

Once you see more BCi and BCc, the differences become easier to pick out.
