any one seen this.

the next big thing in boas. :carrot: only one has ever been sold and it went for 20k. wich every one thought was way to cheap.

WOW!!! That is sweet!!! $20,000 that is right?

yep. thats correct

:O Amazing!!! Absolutely stunning! And I also think that $20k was a sweet deal for some lucky sod! Is that a "base" morph (which is what it sounds like from the all-too-brief description)...or a "designger" morph?

lucky for the guy who bought and produced it, but I think boa morphs have nowhere near as much beauty as BP morphs or any other species for that matter

Wow......!

Imagine that showing up in the albino form as well!!! Another list of possible combination morphs for the boa breeders to work on. Do you know if its genetic?

wow!!!! i wish i could get one of those bad boys lol. do you guys think that if they can keep producing that bloodline their price will go down like once most breeders can make that type then they will stay, lower ,or raise in price if so ny how much??

Its really hard to say. If its a codom trait is will lower faster I would assume. Theres also the possibility that there will be almost entirely patternless boas like that and that could very well raise the price. For right now I don't know the genetics of it so its anyones guess

the story on it is kind of crazy one. the guy who produced it bought 1.1 normal bci from a pet shop bred them and one of these poped out. then they bred them again and 1 more poped out. then they bred the first male to the mother and if i rember right they had a litter of half of them scoria.

mr shocker o.
they will drop in price like every thing else once supply catches up with demand. it will be about 4-5 years before you see them on king snake for a reasonable price. and about 5-10 years after that before you see them mass produced and every tom richard and harry has one like a pk albino.

If it is proven genetic, the price will drop. As more people get it, more people will produce it. Every year more will enter the market. It may be another 5 or 6 years, but it will drop.

Where? I didn't see anything for sale on that site.

Dang that is one hot snake!!

it's gorgeous!


so were the boas bought from the store hets or something? but man nice find from a pet store!

Woah.... That's very KOOL! :eek:

Those are fantastic. I agree that 20k was a steal.

I've been reading up on them for about a week now and I haven't been able to find out how much that female Rich bought was. The actual guy who found them doesn't say how much they are selling for either.

Where is this 20K and 1500 coming from, those prices are pretty different. I'm just curious is all.

I didn't see any price but maybe the 1,500 was for a het or a sibling

YES, prices will come down, but no where near as fast as ALL the BP morphs did this year...LOLOLOL!! Seriously, it will be 5-6yrs before we break ground on the Scoria as it is believed to be recessive as Albinos.

My guesstimates and where I think it will go:
We won't see too many for sale for the next 2-3yrs! As the few who have them now, are raising them and will be breeding to hold back. The ones that are let go will be in $20,000 price range! In 5-6yrs we may see prices down between $10k-$15k. It will be a good 8-10yrs before we see Scoria Boas on KS for $5000 and 10-12yrs before they are $1000-$2500! Of course it all depends how the supply is managed by those who have them! Who knows, we could see $5000 Scoria Boas in 6-8yrs! Another thing to consider is combos, Scoria Sunglows, Scoria Motleys, Scoria Snows and so on.
