Good Deal, yes?

So i just called a guy up about this offer, i'm going to see them around 5/6 and if everything looks good then i'll be leaving with them! I'd have to say its a steal

3ft. RTB, baby ball pastel, 2 tanks (55 gallon, 20 gallon), and all husbandry for $150? Lets see if its to good to be true

Wow! It sounds like a steal to me. Hope everything works out. I'm truly jealous:P

Those pictures do not appear to show a pastel BP fyi, still a great deal though.

a foot long BP? thats pretty tiny is it just hatched?

People just estimate when they give length anyway. It looks to be about 2.5 feet.

Yeah, that bp is just a normal though, not a pastel.

the person who made the add can estimate worth jack all lol

and thats a normal.

If everything is up to snuff, it's an AWESOME deal!

I noticed that too, thats a normal ball FOR sure. Don't let him get over on you. But still a good deal, just cuz a 55gallon is kinda expensive, and so are 20's. I would take it.

yeah, lookin at the pics i thought it was a normal and i asked him on the phone if he was sure it was a pastel and he said yes, but thats also why im going to go look at them. And if worse comes to worse, i'll sell the 55 gallon and maybe the RTB and get my money back and still come out with a BP and tank =)

Hi,

Make absolutely certain you have good quarantine procedures in place.

Boa alone is worth what you are paying but the ball she is without a doubt a norm and you can pick them up really cheap. I have 1000 gram + females I sell for $50......still a great deal regardless, make sure he knows that the ball is a norm maybe you can get the package for $125....lol...Who knows...

Normal python but that is a hot little boa.

Looking at what he said in the ad, 55 and a 20 feeder tank? Were the boa and python housed together?

Overall its a great deal. Red tails sell for 150 alone on average.

It's apparent the boa and python we're housed together, which means a vet visit for the both of them.. fecal swabs and check-ups are a good idea.

STRICT quarantine, for a good 3 months at least.

Definitely not a pastel either, a nice normal though.

SOOOOO, heres the story. I went to their house, and this is what i learned. They RTB was in a separte cage the built, so they wern't housed together. The BP was kept in the 55gallon and the 20 gallon (which is ALOT bigger than 20) was used as his feeding tank. The BP is a pastel, just a horrible example, he does have some nice golds/yellows on his side and he has the green eyes of a pastel, he just really, doesnt look to to much like one. They ended up not wanting to part with the RTB so i have recieved (pics to come in the pic section of everything i recived, had a rough night last night and need to rescue my car from the side of a road, so pics once thats all done with) The pastel BP, his 55 gallon tank, all his husbandry (which was pretty good, just a HUGE tank), his 20 gallon feeding tank, and a crap ton of usefull things for $75. I'll take a pic of everything once i sort out my car and its not 6am. He can go in QT and my other pastel can come out =)

There are some "low end" pastels out there, so you did pretty well.
Sorry to hear about your car though.. what happened?
Also why advertise the two snakes then only sell one.. when they were a package deal?
Glad you are okay and that you are happy with what you got.. good deal.

well, i was driving back and i went to pass someone and my car started screaching and then it sounded like something fell off...then everyone sounded fine. So i kept going, after checking my gages. Thne, bout 20min later, i looked back behind me to switched lanes and saw a crap ton of smoke comeing from my car, my temp was tthrough the roof!! so i pulled off onto the side of the highway and had to have someone come rescue me. I thought iit was a radiator hose but went to replace it today and there was nothing wrong with it, might be the water pump...it had to be towed. And i had to leave the 55 gallon in it. it wouldnt fit in my friends car lol.

thw wife was to attached to the boa and decided she didnt wanna sell it. It was fine with me, i dont really do boas all to much and i got a good deal anyways so meh.

watch those rad hoses they can appear fine until they are under pressure, then you will see a stress crack in the hose.
