Re: Tempting...
She’s a pretty girl. I can see why you are tempted. After adding 5 bp’s this year, I am not the one to preach self control. lol If you are looking for a good pet, it seems like this would be a good deal.

Have you noticed that the cage isn't real clean...I'm seeing shed skin & urates for sure in photos. Wonder if she's as "docile" as they say? I do like her looks.

I noticed that also. I also wondered why there were no out of cage photos? Nice looking, but she looks a little “ready to strike” in the pics? 😆

Yeah, that’s a definite turn off. I may ask them a few questions and see how they answer. I don’t “need” another snake right now, but it is a good looking critter...

Re: Tempting...
She’s apparently 7yrs old. They’ve had her for 5yrs. Don’t remember who the breeder was. $150 for the snake alone or $200 for her and whatever else I want out of the cage. I’m not gonna rush into this but I’ll think on it.

Re: Tempting...
The only thing I would add regarding the potential for a nippy adult is that my Colombian rainbow was supposed to be aggressive. He’s been a great pet for over 20 years. If you move forward, you have more than enough experience to evaluate personality in person.

Hard to say, but if she's anything like the BCI I used to have, she might be seeing them move around the tank (taking photos), seeing some confusing reflections and
hoping there's prey out there somewhere? I'll bet this is their first and only snake & they're starting to get nervous with her feeding response + size...

I personally would find a boa with more of a pedigree. But thats just me. Like Gio said, I would look for female poki in case you want to breed. Me personally, I'm waiting for that perfect Peruvian...which isnt coming atm...but then again, i dont have $1000+ to throw down on one atm anyways after buying Alex lol.
And i also kind of want another GTP or possibly an ETB id i can find a USCBB one that isnt going to cost me a kidney. GTPs are kind of addictive lol.

That’s honestly the route I’ll likely take eventually. Even if I don’t get a female poki having something very locale specific is appealing. Kinda just started this thread as a sounding board to see what other folks thought about the animal. I’m sure it’s a fine critter but if I do get another Suriname I’d like something that would be a good mate for Leonard. Also, $200 just sounds a little too good of a deal to be true or worth rolling the dice.
If I don’t get another Suri then maybe a Guyana or a BCO. Peruvian BCC are awesome, but maybe a bit large for me. BCO might be a bit big for that matter but I’m not rushing into anything right now
