new red tail(again)

allright so i went to the local reptile show again just to get food and i came home with a new little pastel rtb. its weird though cause the guy only wanted 40 bucks for him and he seams fine, i mean he pooped as soon as we got him home and he eats fine. i just dont know why he wanted 40 bucks, well ill have some pics up later if anyone wants to see him

What but of course we want to see him and as for the 40 bucks. That sounds about right for a normal bci.

Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...and 40 dollars seems really low for a bci....................

one second and ill have some pics up, and thats what i thought so i have him in quarintine and he will be there for a while

could be couple reasons

1) vendor was doing really bad at the show and just wanted to make something .

2) normal BCI's are becoming more common then usuall

3) u said pastel BCI but prolly just a normal

4) the guy didnt want the trouble of feeding it so he figured $40 was good enough to have 1 less mouth to feed ..

could be many reasons
but if it looks healthy and eats fine then i say good job on getting a great deal ,
but i highly doubt its a pastel for that price

the only reason i said pastel is because hes a lot brighter than my others, hes probaly not a real pastel but hold a sec and ill get some pics up

he is about to go into shed right now but ill post some more as soon as he has

By the looks of your pictures your "he" might be a she. If it is, what a still to get a normal female almost breeding size for only $40. She or He looks beautiful nice tail. Congrats.

Don't look anywhere near breeding size to me. How big is he/she? rough guess. I still stand buy my earlier statement rtbs aren't expensive I got my female as a baby for about 50 from a pet shop. Especially a normal now when you get into morphs that's a different story.

she's very pretty but not a pastel i really like her tail though. She is no where near breeding size lol she doesnt even look 3 feet long.

thats tile on the floor in the picture is prolly only 12in x 12in square .

how could you even think "Almost breeding size"?????????? LOL

indeed its a very nice looking boa , also has a very nice circleback pattern to it
$40.00 was a great price to get it for ..

take care of it ..;)

never said OP made the statement but if you read the other posts you see who did

Almost looks like hes/shes missing the tip of their tail!

Seems to be a small kink...could explain the low price...

But a very nice looking boa regardless...really cool pattern on the tail.

The prices on common Colombians can vary widely...some petstores in the Colorado Springs area near here, sell babies for $199:O...

But then I've gotten a few healthy adult females for $45, and $80...I think it just depends on how fast the seller wants to move them out...
