boa prices

i am interested in getting a columbian red tail and was looking on fauna and found some 2011 hypo het albino for $160 shipped and was wondering if this is a good price

Do you plan on breeding it down the road? If not the het. Albino really doesn't mean that much, but as for the price it seems pretty good. Just try and find out if the breeder is reputable.

$160 is not a bad price if you are sure they are 100% hets (aka from a reputable breeder)

There are some great quality animals there for a great price as well. I have done a TON of business with Brandon and his is a great guy to deal with. All of those are 50% het albino.

yea i saw that post to good looking snakes and yes i do plan to breed eventually and what are the odds of getting a sunglow if i get a hypo 50 percent het albino x albino also are the hypos he has for sale 50 percent het albino cause the title confused me

50% hets mean that there is only a 50/50 chance of the boa being het albino. That means that it could easily be straight hypo. If it isn't albino you wouldn't get any sunglows out of the first breeding, but by breeding with an albino all the babies would be het albino. If the Hypo poss. het albino does prove out I am not exactly sure what your chance of getting sunglows would be.

do u know how to contact him and how much does he charge or shipping i have $99 right now i might have to mow a yard or 2 to get enough money

Price is fine. I would shop around and not get in a rush. Some of the really great looking morphs have come down price wise. I've seen sunglows in the $400 range.

If your not planning on breeding, getting a animal het for something is just flushing money down the toilet. I don't know what your personal preferences are but you can find boas with some awesome paint jobs for relatively cheap. I personally love the Kahl line, check them out.

Got my hypo female for $160 shipped last year, so I'd say it's a good price.
