I've read some accounts of people keeping them...very frustrating. I think they look cool too, but not a fan of w/c exotics being dragged from their world, most don't survive.

BTW, Aussie spotted pythons are NOT imported, they're c/b (captive bred) right here in the states- & that generally means a much better pet experience, with a healthy snake that's not parasitized & in need of vet care & which may not survive despite best efforts.

Most are wild caught, but there a few CBB on morph market for very reasonable prices that I just saw (and want) today; that's why I bring them up. Though, they would not make a good first snake, you're right about that.

Vin Russo at Cutting Edge Herp has a bunch he breeds.

I got Feliz from TC Reptile (Tommy Carpenter). I can speak well of both but have only purchased from Tommy. Tommy does mostly dwarf species. All his boas are locale. Feliz was a Rio Bravo line dwarf BC.

Both guys have good FB pages but I don’t have Facebook.

if you google either, their websites and FB pages should come up.

if you want to talk to Tommy I can make an introduction. Just PM me.

What's the price range on these suggestions?

The dwarf boas Vin Russo breeds are drop dead GORGEOUS. Thank you for the suggestion, however a lot of them are out of stock and *probably* out of my price range.

Can vary.

I think many of Tommy’s locale boas are under $600. Honestly not sure the prices of all of what he offers. Same for Vin on not having an idea.

Feliz is an incredibly rare locale and was about $600.

I love Australian pythons, and while a 40g tank may be too small for an adult carpet, it could house a Childrens or Spotted python nicely.

While my baby Tarahumaras are nippy they're honestly no worse than some of the baby ball pythons I've produced, and they're settling down nicely with gentle handling. All three of my adults are very chill.
