What does BCC and BCI stand for?
What does BCC and BCI stand for?
Let’s talk all about Boa constrictors; both the BCI (boa constrictor imperator) common boa or the true red tailed boa, the BCC (boa constrictor constrictor). Boas are one of the most popular large snakes kept as pets.
Can you breed BCI and BCC?
BCC x BCI crosses are difficult to achieve. In the wild, these two species breed during different times of the year, so their internal clocks are not synchronized. Also take into account the geographic range of different boa species- it is highly unlikely that an island imperator would mate with a mainland constrictor.
How do I know what kind of boa I have?

What is the difference between BCC and BCI boa?
In a nutshell BCCs(Boa Constrictor Constrictor) are more colorful and typically more demanding as far as care. They can also grow larger. BCIs(Boa Constrictor Imperator) are the “common” boas although there are a ton of genetic morphs out there.
Are BCC bigger than BCI?
What is the difference between a BCC and a BCI?
Bcc sometimes display a brighter tail colouration, more colouration throughout their body (silvers and/or pinks and/or purples), shaplier saddles that may have more contrast, and less than 22 saddles. Bci may have more or less than 22 saddles, which makes this method of identification unreliable.

What’s the difference between a BCI and a common boa?
I’ve seen some people get really fanatical over the differences. Most BCC owners call BCI RTB (red tail boa) common boas. From what I’ve learned, they’re all a red tail boa, but found in different locations, but there are still minor differences between them both visually and possibly the way they’re kept.
