On Saturday I stopped into a local pet store to get some crickets, that normally has a good supply of reptiles at high prices, and found they were selling a Columbian Tegu as a B&W Argentine. I pointed it out to a couple of people and left with the crickets. After our son's baseball game we went back with one of our Blue Tegu's to straighten them out. It turns out they had gotten in (3) and they sent the other (2) to their other store. The kid we were talking to had a baby boa in his hands. A SURINAME BOA!! A very light tan with nice saddles and the usual killer tail. They had another that was darker but the lighter one was stunning! They had only had it since Wednesday but he said it had already eaten a F/T hopper. We know the kid fairly well since we go there often so we believed him. I've always wanted one. I recently traded a B&W Arg. Tegu for a female 5.5ft Dumeril Boa and figured that would be my med/large boa. Until this!! Yes, we dropped payment on the little beauty!!! We picked him (probe verified male) Sunday after I setup a tank. We had everything we needed to setup a 20G breeder tank but the tank has a hole in the screen so I had to go to Home Depot.
I'll hit ya hard with the first pic.
