Thinking of pulling the trigger on a Bolivian Silverback BCA......

I know pictures tell a thousand words and hopefully i'll have some to post later. Until then, I'm wondering whats the average price for them. This one is about a 6 month old baby, silver with dark black/purple saddles and medium peaks. Honestly I don't remember a whole lot about it as I was busy buying feeder rats for my other snakes. But now that I think about, I am kind of interested in it as I remember the silver overtones and that stood out for me. Anyways she is asking $300 for it. I'm not sure on the bloodline as she lost the paperwork but did get it from a local breeder. I really don't plan to breed it, more of just a pet but im wondering how are their temperments? I have a 6ft BCI girl who is like a giant puppy dog and loves to come out and sit on me so im looking for something else like that but in a darker color as my BCI is normal with lots of light colors and salmon down the sides and on the cheeks and this BCA is silver/granite base with the dark black/purple saddles. Anyways does $300 sound like a reasonable price? Thanks.

The price seems average. All snakes are different, there's no guarantee on their temperament. That being said, I've had over 20 plus boas. BCI and BCC and only had one that was grumpy, a Peruvian. I bought my Bolivian in 1996, so I paid 650$. In the last thiry years I've owned over fifty different snakes, almost all boas and pythons. Bolivians are still one of my favorites, and mine was docile.
