What are those??

These are genetically dominant ladder & reverse stripe tails which have actual BCC red colored tails their whole lives and are generally associated with wide widows-peaked floating saddles as opposed to connecting thin saddles like other genetic ladder tails lines. In addition, some of them have very yellow, orange or pink body colors. With all this combination of tail pattern, tail color, body pattern and body color, I call them Flamboyant because that is what they are. They are real show off snakes but like anything else, there is variation and some of the lower end ones are no where near as attractive as the high end ones despite having great ladder or reverse stripe tail patterns. It always seems like most of my best looking boas are females regardless if it is these or other BCC or BCI lines.
