Sunglows, Lipsticks, Albinos? Kahl vs Sharp? Q's and Pic Requests!

I think my mom would be willing to spend about $2,000 on a snake for me. Possibly a bit more.
I'm going to buy all the supplies; all I asked was that she buys the snake for me. Hehe.

She told me I should work in sales. I was like, "Well, if a snake that can live for 20 years in captivity costs $2,000, that really only comes out to being $100 per year! So really, it's not that bad of a deal!" LOL

Holy crap. If my mom would spend $2000 on a snake for me, there's a few things other than an albino or sunglow I'd be looking at. But it is all about what YOU want, and if you likey sunglows, you should get a sunglow!! But in the meantime check out this bad boy.......

https://www.facebook.com/ryan.burke.clockwork Scroll down to below the GTPs he has listed - there's a 2013 male motley sunglow for 1400 shipped. And you can't go wrong with Ryan Burke/Clockwork Reptiles. He's excellent to work with!

Ha ha,, I have not been following this closely. Here I was think my $200+ including shipping was a bit of cash LOL! I had to keep it sort of cheap so my wife would not get upset. Your mom is pretty cool.

Not being a morph guy, yet still appreciating the beauty of morphs, I'd say find something pretty, but also invest in supplies to give your new resident the display cage of a lifetime!

Holy Crap is right LOL!

Oh agreed!! Use some of that allowance to get some supplies and a great cage! You'll need one anyhow, so get a good one! I personally suggest ConstrictorsNW - Ed is great to work with and his stuff is top-notch.

I'd also suggest investing in a snake with super genetics. Even if you don't plan to breed, you never know where this will take you. And if you decide to breed later on, you'll have a great foundation animal to start with.

Constrictors NW Cages are on my list. I have several that I've been looking at, but so far, those are high on my list.

Here's my list that I've compiled.
ConstrictorsNW
Vision
Precision Cages
Showcase Cages
PVC Cages
Boaphile Plastic

I like the Showcase cages because they're really pretty to look at, but they're really expensive (but I have about 3 years to save up for it, so we'll see). But I'm not sure if they're stackable, which I do need....
I'm considering a Vision cage because they're aesthetically appealing, but I'm going to need to stack different sizes, and I don't know if that'd be possible. Plus, I think I'd want to get a cage that's larger than the largest available size than the Vision cages offer.
I think Boaphile is the company with a fairly poor customer service reputation.
Other than those ones, I haven't looked too far into the other ones. But if I can find stackable cages with a 6 foot long cage on the bottom and I can put two 3 foot cages side by side on top of them, then I'd be happy! That's what I'm really looking for! (As my goal is to have my RTB, a BRB, and at least 2-4 balls - I'd likely be adding to that).

Definately go with a sunglow over just a plain albino.

The lipstck line would be a good one to look into.

I say: research and take your time! Boas are great pet snakes!

Here's a pic of a junglow from one of my litters last year. Just to fire you up! LOL

[Jason Bowden]

I think I saw $2k.

I would really take considerable time looking around, etc... There is some really nice stuff out there.

$500 should be set aside for all supplies. IMO

Every one has given good info. I'll contribute pictures of my Coral albino. She is just over a year old. I don't have baby pics, as I've only had her six months. But she is really starting to get her pinks lately.

Can someone help me out.. I think my albino may be partially a coral.. She tends to have same marking as yours with the pink on the head?. I was told it was an albino
