    Price for a hypo boa?
    I'm looking to add a boa to my collection. I was thinking a female hypo, but I just found a 2010 ~4ft male for $75 hypo on craigslist, not sure if its still available or if I should snatch it up if it is. Looks healthy. Turns out same person also has a 2010 female hypo for $100.

    Ideas?

    Most of the hypos that I've seen average in the $100-$200 range, so those prices sound reasonable. Can you get any photos? And does the ad say whether they are Colombians, Hog Islands, etc?

    175 for 2 hypos not a bad deal at all pics wouldhelp to see how good/bad they are and pics of the parents would also be a plus

    I remember I used to be looking for them and they seemed to closer to the $200 range for young snakes, I think theyre just plain Columbian bci.

    This is the female, looks brighter due to the flash, there were other pics with less light where it looks darker. http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a.../femaleboa.jpg

    This is the male.

    Im not lookin to buy the both of them, but I was leaning towards the female because I want a bigger boa, but I kind of like the male pattern more. (they might be from the same clutch, im not sure)

    Well, slight bump in the road, I think this may be the female, there were 4 pictures, and the one I posted was the one that looked the best but now that I go back I think thats a different hypo then the other three, the other pics show one with more speckling/dots and a slightly different pattern.

    Now I thought that was the female but the male picture seems to have the same odd saddles. Im confused I think they posted some of the same pictures on both ads... :weirdface

    Thats exactly what I was thinking I asked them for pictures of the female theyre supposed to email some in the morning. Id probably take either though.

    If you don't want them I'll take both of them. Not a bad deal at all for a pair of Hypos. They seem to be in good shape. Price is right around average.
