Alot of BCIs are sold as red-tails though.. but majority of them turn out not to be. Do you know anything about the locales? Any history at all?

Yeah them having a red tail is no indication of what type of Boa it is, as most of them do.

As you don't know what it is are you prepared for potentially a 10 foot long snake within a year or 2?

You really need to go back to the seller and find out what on earth you've just bought.

I am absolutely rubbish with boas but i strongly suggest you go back to the seller and find out exactly what it is. You need to know what care requirements it has and how big it is likely to get. What was it advertised as?

Well its hard to get her measured cause she's so strong but she's longer than me and I'm 5ft 10! Must weigh her at some stage :) Don't think the kitchen scales will work though lol.
The boa posted by noola has nice markings. Kinda unusual! :) Good luck with her/him
