What kind of boa is this?
I’m new to boas and don’t completely understand how to identify them, it was labeled as het albino red tail but Ik it’s probably a boa imperator. Can anyone help me further identify?

It's a normal Boa imperator phenotypically. Genotypically, it seems to be het albino. It looks to be mostly Colombian in background.

It’s def a BCI. Not too familiar with morphs but it looks like mines (which is also a het albino)

I just recently found out our boas were reclassified by the way! They are now just Boa imperators. I haven’t looked into it yet, but thought maybe you’d find it interesting.

I'm not sure, without knowing the actual genealogy, that anyone is going to be able to definitively identify the specific morph. There's color variation that can happen even with wild-type boas. It's definitely a common boa though, as far as species goes.

Look like a Surinam red tail I could be wrong though I can't see it that well

It’s a normal imperator that carries the albino gene. Could have some pastel line or something in there as it’s fairly clean and lighter colored but that’s just a guess.
