Hi Twisted,

Welcome to the forums.. I will get into just a bit more info..

BCI (Columbian Redtail) This is average size, some get bigger, some smaller..
Male 6'-7'
Female 7'-8'

BCC (could be a Dumerial, Surinam, Guyana, etc)
Dumerals are a bit smaller then the abover Columbian
Where as the Surinam
Male 7'-9'
Female 9'-12'

So without the exact type of boa its hard to give a better approx size.. Heck a Mexican Rosy Boa will only average 18" - 2 foot..

Hope this helps..

Hey Jay,

Glad it helped..

And yes by doing a saddle count is a good visual, but I am 96% right just by visual of the head.. BCC's have a more narrow head and different eye placment, where BCI's will have a wider head and slightly turned up mouth..
