RTB update + where to buy

My RTB "rescue" is doing great! She only has 2 more shots to go! I sprayed her cage with PAM and haven't seen a mite since.. the noise she makes when she breathes is almost gone.. and she is eating regularly for me :) Thanks everyone for the help with her, she gets a lot of love here.

I want to get another RTB, I'm really interested in getting an albino female but I've been having a hard time finding one (they're either male or sold out.. I've seen a couple females but they were on the higher end of the price range I've seen). I won't be able to get one for another couple months but I would like to find a good seller before hand.. I feel like I've looked everywhere! (on these forums, the seller review forum, google, kingsnake) I've seen they go from $500-$1,500+.. the $500 I found was on kingsnake.com and I don't know how reliable the people are on there.. it reminds me of craigslist :( .. I would like to find a good seller that other people reccomend.. with a legit website or someone whos backed up by people on here.. Does anyone have any ideas of where I can find a good boa?
It doesn't really have to be an albino, I just want a good looking female.

Thanks a lot, I've been to peter kahls website.. beautiful snakes, all the ones I like there are male.. I'll keep checking it though, I still have a while before I get a new boa.
Never heard of jimisnakes though, I'm going to look that up right now

Jimi is a member here and a great guy. =)

Another "legendary" boa breeder to check out is Gus at Rio Bravo Reptiles. =)

Thanks, I really liked the Rio Bravo website, the snakes looked beautiful!
I actually sent him an e-mail last week and never got a reply

This guys selling some female sunglows for %800
http://rodents4u.com/html/sunglows.html
does it look legit? i can't find that site on any of the seller reviews..

Hope so I bought two BPs from him today (Pastel and Pinstripe). I'll let you know when they come in. I asked for him to ship them out in a couple weeks just to get 5 or 6 feedings and a shed in.

Here's the deal: Go with Jimi. Web addy is jimisnakes.com
He is a small breeder of excellent stock. He handles his snakes a lot so that when they get to your home (and calm down after shipping) you will have a mellow snake who will not eat you.
Jimi feeds his snakes very well and does not only offer a maintenance diet of mice.
Jimi is easy to get in touch with and always get back in touch with customers super fast.
Jimi's prices are fair and he has a large supply- especially at this time of year. His website is not up to date given breeding season, but email him and/or call him. Also, take a look at this forum~ he shows his snakes all the time!! He goes by jim020cricket and his snakes are the hotness!!!!! His normals are also hot!!!
Check it out!

Thanks, I really like Jimi's snakes.. I'm friends with him on myspace so whenever he posts a new blog about his snakes I see all the babies, they're very good looking.

I'm actually not going to even think of getting a new snake until my RTB with an RI either clears up (which isn't looking hopeful) or if she dies :( whatever she has is antibiotic resistant and nothing showed up when they did a culture so I don't want to bring anymore snakes into this mess until something changes with my big sick baby

Oh, I am so sorry to hear of the seriousness of your RTB :(
QT'ing aside, I think it's very responsible for you to wait until things resolve with the rescue snake.
Awww, I'm so sorry. :tears:
