Redtail boa...$499.99..?

What's the value on an adult MALE red tail boa?

I went to Petland to pick up my weekly feeder mice and there in their huge enclosure they built was an adult male redtail boa with a hefty price tag on it.

I've seen 7ft adult red tails for a 50 dollar adoption fee...so i'm wondering if someone handed Petland this snake and said "eh..too big for me...you can have it"..and then Petland turns around and makes a 5000% profit margin on it....

OH yeah! one more thing....it was housed with an anaconda :eek:

i hate petland

This is sad but I guess pet Stores don't really surprise me anymore :mad:

LMAO $500 for a red tail male?
PLEASE... someone has to know nothing about boa's to pay that much for it.

Poor guy, hope he doesn't get eaten... :(
I'd really look in to getting your feeders elsewhere... No way would I support that kind of store at all with the horror stories I've heard about them.

I agree. I got my mini freezer in the mail today and will be placing a large order on RodentPro this evening.

Im guessing it's a normal because no one just gives away an expensive morph. I've heard of nice normal BCCs going for MAYBE 300.00 but 500.00 is rediculous if you ask me. Some people might even consider 300.00 rediculous. Most pet stores are in it for the money, plain and simple. If people will buy it then they will sell it.

I recently sold my female boa along with my friend's male boa, both in the 7 foot range for $200 together. Both of which were $200 a piece and the pet shop turned around and sold em for $249 each. Works out for them.

If it is a BCC male and it is 500 dollars and it is clean and healthy...I would pay that. A full size Suri Male goes for that easily.

A normal Colombian isn't worth that kind of price tag though.

it was Columbian

Are they smoking crack! $50 bucks tops for a normal male boa.I bet that snake dies of old age in that pet store before someone pays that much.

i see baby columbians goin for $199.99 all the time at petco and petsmart lol so i look into it and meet a breeder that selles em $30 bucks a pice and theyre healthier prettier and proven full columbian not some wierd mix lol goes to show how much petstores are in it for the money...
