Colombian BCC make for a confusing group, in part because there are not many in captivity and people try and pass off nice Imperator or even BCC mutts as Colombian BCC. The divide in Colombia between the two subspecies should be the Andes Mountains. This would leave a major portion of Colombian boas as BCC, from the Eastern and far South regions of the nation. Bordering Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, and even a sliver of Ecuador in this "Eastern" region, it makes sense that the boas found here would be BCC since the neighboring countries are all home to that subspecies. Part of the confusion on the subspecies of Colombian boas falls to miss-informed keepers. A few notable keepers have stated that all Colombian boas are BCC because of certain scale counts that do not fit in with other Imperator. However, truth be told, Colombian imperator differ slightly from all other BCI. Baranquilla and the Rio Magdalena region are the source of most Colombian boas in captivity, those are home to BCI. Meanwhile Leticia is located in the far Southern corner on the border with Peru and Brazil. The problem with these two common export sites is that they are on opposite ends of the country. Odds are boas are collected or farmed in other areas and simply shipped out from whichever location is closer. Leticia's proximity to Peru and Brazil makes it very easy for someone to mistakingly (or on purpose) take boas from either of those countries and export them out of Colombia.
