    Boas in virgnia!

    Ohuh, my friends dad said he saw an emerald boa, or somthing along those lines, at belle isle, richmond virginia...
    Hopefully people will stop releasing animals, but this is bound to get publicity, as there are always kids and their parents hanging out there.... dumb people, just take the snake to a good home, not the woods!

    I doubt it was an Emerald as they have extremely stringent temperature/humidity requirements... (considered by some to be the hardest constrictor to keep in captivity) If it was it won't last long...

    but yeah it sucks to see people releasing snakes into the wild. Gives the rest of us a bad name.

    Green tree Pythons are far more common in the pet trade, so My money would be on one of them.

    At least winter will remove any unnatural snakes up there. Down here in Forida releases can become an issue (not as bad like the media/politicians wants you to think) but still an issue.

    Iduno, im new to the hobby, but it seems some snakes can go for alot of money, not sure which ones count in that, i assume morphs are the biggest pricettag, but hey, there worth whatever someone will pay
