Dwarf Boas

[Rapture]

I am becoming more and more interested in the dwarf BCI's, and I was wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head which species are readily available in the US and perhaps around what price they would sell for? I am more interested in pure lines, not anything mixed with BCC's. Thanks in advance.

Ok, heres a few I know of off the top of my head
Mexican dwarf boas-Not a common as some of the others but they are only going around $300 for adults
Hogg islands-Lots available, males 5' tops and females over 6' are big. $100-300 depending on overall quality. Some adults are going for over $300.
Central American-6' is an adult size with the ocasional 7' I'm sure being out there. I believe these are known to be more nippy than some of the others.
look at www.riobravoreptiles.com and see what he has about the island localities. Gus knows locaity boas better than most

There are also pearl island boas (B.C. sabogae) but these are extremely rare and expensive.

corn island boas, among others can be found here:

i dont have time to check the sites atm, do they have the head and 'thickness' of a boa? i would love a boa, size would prevent me owning one, but i am interested in these since viewing one on NERD

Thank you for this link, I have been to this site some time ago. I remember now I was looking for Boa constrictor longicaudas and I found them at this site.

Yes thanks a bunch for this link.
