Hint: I think I'm a cross of some sort...

You can't label a snake as a cross or define it as anything without proper knowledge of the parents heredity.

With that said yours appears to be a BCI, locale unknown, genetics unknown.

it is most likely a "normal" from a hypo X Hogg breeding. There definitely appears to be Hogg Island influence evidenced by the speckling and coloration between the saddles. The low saddle count makes me think Colombian yet the circleback pattern is typical of CA. Breeders typically cross Hogg Island boas with hypos so my guess is that is most likely the heritage. As Chris said there's no way to be sure without tracing the actual heritage. Anything else stated is mere guess work based on physical attributes.

But maybe it is actually Hogg x Peruvian BCC

I don't see the Longicauda influence there but a BCC is definitely a possibility. Hey Hoppy, didn't you produce that cross in '04? Maybe that's your animal!
