How do you identify the difference between the BCC and BCI. If that’s possible!!

Basically you have to look at the saddles. Though there is a lot of cross breeding. So it can be hard from time to time. Most B.C.I. have saddles like this ( ) while B.C.C. have saddles like this { }. To explain it better think of sleak bat like saddles for Suriname, Peruvian Red Tail Boa’s. Colombian, Central American and some other’s have it wider and not as sleak. You’ll be able to see some difference.

usually by the patterns on their back.

BCI = ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
BCC = { } { } { } { }

Saddle Shape (BCIs will have saddles that form a nice oval between them wher BCC saddles are widow peaks and form more of a inverted diamond or bat wing between them)
BCIs have 253 ventral scales (or less) and a midbody scale count of 55-79, While BCCs have 234 to 250 ventral scales and a midbody scale count of 89-95

BCIs have 21 or more dorsal blotches (saddles), while BCCs have less than 20 dorsal blotches
