    I'd do it just because I'm a boa guy. I love both, but Boa's have always had me. I almost bought a baby Nic today and got a baby colombian instead. I also have a BP that is AWESOME even though she's just a normal. So it all depends on what you prefer. Is that your only snake?

    The following is my own opinion and strictly an opinion:
    That would do it for me, personally. You have the best of both worlds that way. Honestly, the only reason I would have a yellow belly is for looks as a display animal, but in reality, ball pythons make mediocre display animals because they hide so much. Boa's are much more active and climb and come out more often. To me, a nicaraguan boa is on the same level as a yellowbelly BP cosmetically. But don't let my opinion persuade you if you don't feel 100% about it.

    Another way to look at it:
    I saw baby Nic Boa's (10"-12") for sale at a show today for $25 (sorry, I can't remember the breeders name). At a price this cheap, you can't go wrong keeping the BP and getting a Boa, yanno?

    Not sure about where you live... But in Ontario that breeder size yellow belly would be WELL worth over a grand ($1000+).

    Okay guys ill put some pics up in a little so you guys can determine she is a yellow belly. If not i guess the best thing to do is go along with the trade.
