my new sub adult little Boa - ID help

[chimneyfog]

I've had her for two weeks. She's 2.5 years old, 4 foot BCI. She was sold to me as a common Colombian but I'm wondering if she might be a dwarf or other sub species ?
She's pictured relaxing in her new Viv.

Thanks for looking

Looks like a Colombian to me. Maybe an outdoor, full body pic would help.

I think its a colombian too, are they normally so small ? 4 feet at 2 1/2 years old? do you think she'll grow much more ?

I'll get some better pictures soon.

Thanks

4' at 2.5 years sounds about right. She looks like a Colombian (BCI) to me as well.. and yep.. she could hit 8' easily one day.

4' at two and a half years is fine. The only way you'd see a snake larger than that at that age, is if it's powerfed to bump it up to breeding size really fast. My two year old columbian is just shy of 4' right now, so yours is at a good average size for the age.

ok thanks for the replies, what are the growth rates from now onwards. What can i reasonably expect in year three, four and five.
I'd like to be prepared !
Thanks

That second picture really shows off the color she has. Very pretty, Colombian BCI
