    Opinion on purchase

    I love locality boas. Problem is my checking will not allow me to purchase as many as my greedy heart desires.

    I have the opportunity to buy a pair of Tarahamura boas or a pair of Caulkers Cay boas. Most definitely cannot have all *pouty face* both pairs from reputable breeder so it's not cheap!

    So help me out and pick which I should go for. Thanks! I'm definitely planning to breed them in the way future.

    I like the look of the tarahamura over the caulkers, they are just more unique looking. Otherwise I have no other experience with either.

    Yeah Caulkers look more anery. Tarahumara has pinks and mocha. It's really pretty. It's why I'm leaning a little more towards tarahumara

    I chose the Caulkers Cay over the Tarahumara because of the pinks/peaches/and amazing tail. Personal preference really...Some pics of my CC - just my crappy cell phone camera after a shed in the sun.

    I *think* the caulkers kay get a little larger too... So you might want to consider that as the tarahumara (sp?) will stay a lot smaller.

    She should top out around 4' and be just thicker than a shovel handle.
