hahaha, honestly im the worst when it comes to alcohol and online shopping. HOWEVER i found her at work BEFORE beer but now i just can't shake this...

not kidding, she's very unique. yes, SHE.

ive told the seller no payment plan, give me this girl NOW, and tried to haggle. seller even tried the "well i have another buyer wanting her..." trick but i pressed.

we're negotiating...

this is awful.

I NEED HER THO. GAH I JUST WANT TO POST PICS ALREADY lol.

Congratulations on your soon to be new addition...best of luck that things work out how you want. Life is short...do (or buy) what makes you happy. :P

i somehow haven't been bit by the Boa Bug yet. reading about them is so surreal bc ive actually never interacted with a boa so they seem so foreign to me, yet everyone praises their personalities. maybe someday!!!

Well, you’ve seen some of my threads....Pied and lemon blast in July, BEL in August, dragonfly in September, and now a banana pinstripe in October. We’re just preaching what we practice. :D

I am interested to see what pans out. Hehe. Good luck.

I've been on there WAY too much recently hunting for some specific morph combos I want. Have found quite a few I didn't expect.

i was looking for 0.1 Bamboo; life is funny. [emoji3]

A (very large) part of me wants to tell you that life is short, get the snake, since it's fun to live vicariously through other people when you can't scratch your own new-snake itch. ;)

Im right there with you. My GF has jump started my own desires and we went from 0 to 4 snakes very quickly. Now i just cant stop looking at all the different morphs around now and wishing i had more money.

Anyway goodluck with the impulse buy.

You people are terrible. After reading this thread I had to look at MM... I was so close to spending A LOT of money...:oops:

So sorry! But as they say, you snooze...you lose! :(

Awe that's a shame !!

Don't dally next time - just buy !

I waited 5 years for the right Pied at the right price ...

This beaut only cost me £250 and the bloke delivered it for £10 ..
It's a decent sized one at 1.6k https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f287147d2d.jpg

Well. I say things happen for a reason. It wasn't meant to be.

And now that you were ready to add one anyway...you can window shop and have fun with that until the right one comes along [emoji4]

As I said in a PM, there's ALWAYS more temptation just around the corner, & if you have to think too hard about making the buy, maybe no is the right answer.
Not that I'm a tower of strength when it comes to impulse-buys either! :rofl: Let's just say I've had plenty of 'practice' in this area.

After looking briefly at MorphMarket for the very first time, there is PLENTY more where this one came from.

Sorry tttaylorrr!

She was a bute, but it must not have meant to be.

You'll find the next "one" soon!

Yes, you can window shop for more BP's, or you can start looking for Boas! Or both :)!

Sorry to hear she sold. As others have said, there will be more....and it’s always fun to window shop. We’ll be sure to be supportive for the next round, too. :D

I tried PM'ing you tttaylorrr, but your PM box is full!

Did you get a Boa yet? Did you fall in love with one yet?

You have BP's, and a corn snake, so my vote for next snake is a Boa! They absolutely rock!

Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa! Boa!

All kidding aside, combine a BP and a corn snake, except bigger, and you have a Boa. Brave, curious, beautiful, and great eaters!

I literally hadn't held one until 3 weeks before I got Behira and I met the breeder I got her from at a reptile show. He asked if I'd ever held a Boa. I said no. He gave me a baby sunglow male to hold. They are so muscular and soft at the same time. The move with such confidence and power, but gentle as well. I was hooked. I had originally wanted a male BCI because I wanted something smaller. Behira was so cool, I didn't care she was a female. Even then, female BCI's aren't unwieldy huge, but they do need big tanks. Males you can probably get away with a 4X2', or get a dwarf species (although, they often have temperament issues - all depends on the type and individual, but many do).

BCI's come in so many colors and patterns.

I've had Behira for a year and I adore her.

Don't get me wrong. I love my BP Shayna. BP's are my first love in reptiles, and Shayna rocks, and got me back into reptile keeping hardcore.

However, from a pure enjoyment from interaction standpoint, Behira is ridiculous. I love my corn snakes, especially Solana (Figment is usually so ADHD he wears me out in a few minutes). They are docile, great eaters, low maintenance, and beautiful! I love Shayna, so pretty, and so calm. Yafe (carpet python), when healthy, has the potential to be pretty cool too - active, but not crazy like Figment, and brave and curious as well. However, Behira, oh Behira, just takes the cake. There's a reason I have another Boa coming Tuesday!

Okay, I've said my piece. I know you have big plans with BP's, and it's not just a hobby for you. I am not trying to interfere. However, I also know how much you enjoy your animals and wanted to make the case.

My animals are family to me and I plan to have them for life. No breeding, just enjoyment and love. I don't love Behira more than the others. I love all my reptile kids. However, she did open my eyes to another level of interaction with snakes. I will say that. I thank her for that and really enjoy our time together when she's out.

Whatever you decide, I am here to support you and cheer!

Also, this is a little payback for pushing me to get Solana and helping convince Katie it was okay too. Oh, what I meant to say is THANK YOU!

I wasn't on yesterday so I didn't see what happened til now...
Sorry, T.
I guess it just wasn't meant to be. The right one will come along, and you'll know right away....

Every time I've *missed out,* a better option has shown up later.
When the time is right, the stars will line up, and the magic will happen.

If I had extra enclosures set up, I'd have many more snakes. Lol. There is a Super Black Pastel on there now that I'm in love with. There's a ground viper I think looks fun too. Damn you Morphmarket! My only defense is lack of enclosures. I know I can solve that easily but for some reason it's harder for me to buy an enclosure than a snake.

Bummer dude. She was beautiful. :(

She is a pretty snake. I find Morph Market and credit cards are a bad combination. No need for beer here. No doubt you can find another one if your really convinced you need another snake. It even works if your convinced you don’t need another snake. I think my wish list is like 6 pages on there.

I’m determined never to buy another snake without cash in hand. Credit cards are the devil!!! Cut them up and close all your accounts!

Yeah I pay off balance monthly, I’m a lousy credit card consumer because I don’t carry a balance over.

Same here, & I use cards that give me real cash back too. :D Credit cards can be your friend if you don't fall into the trap of overspending.

Sorry Triple T, I snatched that girl without know you were thinking about her. No worries, I'll share her with you thru pictures :D

.... just joking! :P

I've done lots of dumb things on Morph Market recently. I've got (2) snakes shipping this month when weather is good, and am talking about (4) more at the moment. The decision is do I want to get the animals right now to add Clown to my Genetics mix, or leave it with the 5 or so Genes I'm working with now. haha.

We'll see what happens. Sadly there are some REALLY nice bridge animals for me on MM that would give me a great run at solid first generation of hatchlings (genetically)

It can be hard, but we are very strict with the budget for non-essentials. Balance is cleared every month. I Hate debt.
