    Oh wow, he/she is gorgeous! You might want to ask to hold it before you buy it just to make sure its not terribly aggressive, it looks healthy and I love how silver it is! But otherwise go for it dude!

    It does look like a beautiful boa. I would ask why he/she is selling it for that price (seems low to me).

    Also keep in mind, at one point in time you will need to get a larger enclosure. I'm still researching but it seems it is recommended that a RTB is housed in at least a 6ft enclosure once they get to the appropriate size.

    Not a hypo.

    I say if you want it, got for it. Just be prepared to get a 4-6 foot viv/cage for it when it's full grown since it looks Colombian. It probably won't stay in that 20 gallon for much longer.

    x2. I think $45 is ok for a normal Colombian - especially if it comes with the tank. But as Daybreaker said, be prepared for a much larger enclosure as it grows. Also, not a hypo. The color is off in the pictures to say for sure, but if anything, it looks anery to me. However, at that price, I'm thinking normal. But you never know! If you do get it, post better pics so we can see!
