    Boa or Ball

    So I won pastel off Bens Facebook auction and THOUGHT I won a red tail boa. I paid for both and they realized that I wasn't the winner. Anyways they are going to let me pick any het albino red tail OR put that money on a female pastel or mojave, what do you guys think I should do? I have a male het albino ball and now a male pastel ball. Decisions decisions.....

    It really depends on what you want. If you plan on breeding ball pythons in the future a female bp would be the way to go. If you don't plan on breeding bps I would probably get the boa. Boas are different than ball pythons and it's fun to have one around.

    Well it's completely up to you!! Remember Red-tails can get big. My buddy has a 10ft female and it is a rather docile snake he still doesn't handle it without someone with him.

    But if you got the female pastel you could make super pastels in a couple years!
