Default confused over boa acronyms - help please!
Hi

Just got a redtail boa yesterday and I am confused - I thought BCI was the redtail and BCC was the normal, but it's posted on the acronyms post the other way round.

Please can anyone tell me which is correct? I know this will be a one answer post!

Cheers

The acronyms thread is correct.

BCI-common boa.
BCC-Red tailed boa

^^^^^Beaten to it

BCI. Looks like it might have an interesting tail pattern though.
