If you get "uh I don't really know how he's feeding, I'm selling this for a friend...." walk away.

This is good advice no matter who or where you buy from.

I sort of did the same thing (bought a yearling) with my carpet. In someways I wish I'd bought from my friend Ed Lilley from Constrictors NW and taken his subadult.

I'll say this, if you went with anything from Kali, it would be probably the most conservatively raised young adult you could get. She is religious about her feeding.

Personally, I feel the difference between a well cared for 2 year old boa VS a baby, other than size is not a big deal. You get to skip a lot of the defensive bite stage and you'll 100% know the snake is eating well.

1/2 hour is pretty close. Might be worth a visit.

Also consider you can start with possibly your lifetime cage VS having to upgrade soon.

If I lived in MI that close I'd pay her a visit!!

Hey. Check out Tom Mcarthy at mccarthys boas. I bought a baby Hypo female boa from him early April for $175 including shipping. She's doing very well. No problems so far. Eating like a champ and just went through her first shed a couple weeks ago. They were born in March this year so still pretty young. I'm not sure if he has any left but you could always check him out. Very helpful and professional

I would keep all options open even a sub - adult all the hard work is done!
especially for a first time owner.
Just think, an animal thats feeding and been housed properly for a while means less stress
for you and the snake!
So explore all your options then decide.
Good luck.

I agree that Tom is not only a super great person, he has some fantastic snakes. If I could ever get another animal, or if something happened to one of mine, I'd look at his North Brazilian BCC's coming soon.

Lots of options.

Get something you REALLY want and like.

Don't go cheap.

Just another option. I bought my boa from Legacy Reptiles in FL.

Beautiful, Barranquilla, Colombian, male boa.

Originally from the Rio Bravo Reptiles (Gus Rentfro) stock, and now acquired by Orlando and Joel Diaz From Legacy.

I bought this boa at just Under a year old. Here he is at 2.

Look all over and get what you really like and want!

I am located in Swartz Creek, MI just outside of Flint but I also don't have any babies this year. I will however be vending at the Taylor Reptile show this on 7/12 if you want, I can point you in a good direction for good people and quality animals. I would be happy to help if you need anything.

Send me a PM if you would like.

Thanks!

@Evenstar I just sent you a pm

Tom Mcarthy! I bought my neonate hypo boa (born 3/4/14) She's doing amazing. I highly recommend him however I do not know if he has any available but I really recommend giving him a check. These are not true red tails however, they are BCIs not BCCs. Not sure if you meant BCCs which are the "true red tail boas". Anyways I'd give him a look because he's extremely helpful. Responds to emails quickly and very kind.
