Redtail boa...$499.99..?

Pet stores here sell babies around $120

Hm.. who really knows how much an adult boa is worth? I guess as much as someone else will pay for it. That particular price tag seems really high to me though, but pet stores mark everything up hugely.. maybe they intend on keeping it but marked it up in case some schmuck does feel like paying that much?

$500 for a normal Male Colombian boa is extremely high. Like I said, I would pay that for a nice Suriname or Guyunan Male that is really pretty and from a respectable breeder, but not from a Petco. I wonder what they are thinking? Even for a Petco, that is a little off to me. Did you happen to ask them? I would've, but I'm a little blunt about things. haha

Fix yo' googles ol timer!! lmao he said petland. Not that the name of the :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:ty petchain makes a difference.
They were trying to sell and adult male for $699.99 at a family store last year around here. A 4'(?!?!) adult male that was ready to breed for $700 with a small tank? What a bunch of fools. Supposidly you could make all that money back in that year....You can get adult males with nice color for under $200 from a reputable breeder. Hmmmmm $500 for a sick snake OR $200 for a healthy beauty....Where do I want my money to go to:salute:

Most pet stores are in it for the money, plain and simple. If people will buy it then they will sell it

If a pet store is not in it for the money then what are they doing there. You don't open a pet store because you want to get rich. Its nice to say I would do this and that, but unless your willing to sink a good chunk of change into a business then you need to be less critical of prices. Its a free country and they can charge whatever they want. Somebody will most likely buy it to because someone almost always does.

You can easily if you had a female or two ready to go.

Yes, If you had a couple females ready, a large supply of rats ready, a rack setup, and people to buy them. Eitherway, its an outrageous price
