What type of boa am I?

OK. I try this once again. The picture will finally show this time. Sorry about the wait. I am hoping to identify what she is. Her sister and parents all seem pretty normal but she is something special. Thanks in advance.

I would GUESS it to be a BCC BCI cross , it's hard to tell by looking at a photo but the shape of the head definately looks more BCI then BCC, althought the pattern reminds of BCC.

The Coloring of the snake along with the nice clean pattern and connected saddles say Southern Colombian Boa all the way. The snakes tail is a typical "Ladder" pattern and the colors are BCI. The thing that shows the BCC blood is the fact that the saddles or so peaked (coming to a point in the center like a widows peak) and that is a typical BCC trait. It could just be a fluke and the snake could be from Southern Colombia enough to be a natrual intergrade such as the Leticia Colombian Boas are possible intergrades. But if it is a long term captive bred boa from several generations then more then likely she is a beautiful cross of some sort.
Thanks
