I would have to say it looks like a Colombian Red Tail. But thats just my opinion.

Doesn't really look like a suriname Bcc, as previously stated, I'd also have to agree that that animal is simply a really nice BCI. Hope this helps.

ill have to be the 3rd to back that up ... thats just a light /pinkish colombian with reduced speckling .. hope this helps

My opinion is BCC X BCI cross , some widow pics on the first saddle , the size of the madaillons on the sides , the tail ,the color and the body shape make me give this statement .
Hope it helps !

it definitely has peaks.

I have a Colombian Red tail and she has some peaks. I have heard that some Colombians can have peaks and not be part BCC. But that is just what I have heard.

My first impression is a Colombian Bci, and may be a cross from Colombian and Suriname parents. But not 100% sure. go to the photo gallery section and search for key word surinames you will see what you should get from a Suriname.

Hoped that helped.

looks like bcc to me.

I agree it looks to be a cross between a BCC bloodline and a Colombian. A nice looking Boa but in no way a pure Suri, in fact I would be more prone to say it has more Colombian influence the it does Suri.
