    Tempting, though I wouldn't need or want the cage that they're trying to get rid of...

    Not the greatest peaks on the saddles or eyelashes on the head markings but looks to be in good body condition and helluva red tail.

    I think she is beautiful.
    If you lived near me, I'd help you out a bit with the purchase price by buying that tank.

    She really is pretty. Trying not to make an impulse acquisition... for such a low price it makes me curious. Too good to be true? Also a 2.5-3hr drive from me. Hrmmm...

    Suriname Boas are incredible! If you have the space go for it!

    The widows peaks are incredible, one hell of a nice looking Boa. Seems like a great deal.

    Beautiful snake.

    I think you'd be best off getting a female Poki though. In the event you ever want to breed boas, you'll want to keep the Poki pure.


    However if you just want a boa, I can easily see why you are tempted.

    Honestly, I think you'd be happier raising something very young and watching it go through all of the stages.

    Hope all is well on your end brother!

    I just had my BC out earlier today.

    You just nailed every thought going through my head lol!

    I like the thought of breeding one day, but realistically, if I haven’t pursued it yet in 23yrs of keeping is that likely to happen? Who knows. If I did breed boas I would like to keep a pure bloodline if possible.

    I do kind of just want another boa though and an empty 6’ cage here makes it even more tempting...

    And I do enjoy raising critters from worms to beasts hah! I would miss out on that here but at ~6’ (and honestly she looks smaller than that) she’s still got a little growing to do.

    Thank you for the well wishes. Not sure where things are headed but it’s anxiety inducing for sure.

    Glad you and Sniper are enjoying each other!

    I'd try to contact the seller with some questions...maybe you'll get a better "feel" one way or the other after you talk with them, & before making a long drive.
