Anyone got an Angolan?

or plan to purchase one soon?

I have a pair. :)

I would like to but haven't seen any females available... not sure I'd be able to afford a female either though... darn.

Nope, I don't have one but they are sure pretty!

Kara you should post pics!

I have a pair.

They're really great snakes. Docile and curious.

I think I have managed to convince my dad to let me get a RTB. "I'll be moving out in a year, before they get very big at all..." ;)

I would still like to get some someday.

Are they way better than balls ?
How much do they cost ?

Last time I looked, a pair or a trio was about 5k. They're not found that often to begin with in the wild.

I wouldn't say it's better than owning a ball, just different.

I've got a pair:

That all depends on what you like. If you like mellow snakes (in general) then Ball Pythons are better. If you like a more curious snake then Angolans would fit the bill. If you're into morphs, ball pythons, if not, Angolan. If you don't want to have to worry about whether it will eat, Angolan...etc,etc.

This is from limited experience with 2 Angolans so take it for what it's worth. I just like the fact that they've got more "attitude" and curiosity. When all you have is ball pythons sometimes it's nice to have a snake that is more active.

I believe that male Angolans can be had for $1500.00 or less. You don't see many lone females for sale so I'm not sure what their prices would be.

Here are our 1.1. Really are AWSOME snakes, and something else to behold with the beaded scales and everything. I love the extra personality that they have in comparison to balls, and the fact that I don't EVER have to worry about them eating!!! Plus, every single one looks like a morph already...so no need for morphs :)

Nice Angolans, those who posted! These are definately on my Someday When I Have More Room/$$ list :)

At some point ill start putting aside money for some of these guys.

They're my next snake that isn't a Ball Python ;). I really like some of the Ball Python / Angolan hybrids.
