Need Some Advice About A Possible Trade

[WarriorPrincess90]

So I have a friend that owns a small family reptile store and he has a beautiful BCI for sale. It's young, not sure how young, but probably only a few months. He picked it up at the last show and thought it would sell quickly but his business has been really slow lately. It's a normal I think, but is light tan with lots of speckling and the most beautiful silver eyes. The saddles on the tail are a yellowish orange color. Overall, there looks like there might be some Hog Island influence, he's that light. Now, I say he, but I don't know. Neither he nor I was comfortable popping either. I'm hoping it's male however, as I don't really want another female right now.

So here's the part where the advice comes in. I don't have room for another boa at the moment. I only have a 10gal aquarium empty for now, and I can't put even a baby boa in that. I just moved my mojo up to the only empty 20L. However, I have a normal male that I've raised from a hatchling that is currently occupying another 20L. I love him to pieces, but he doesn't eat reliably and never has, and when he does he's a mouser. He has no place in my future breeding plans either. He was my second BP ever and I've had him for a few years now. So obviously I'm attached to the little guy. My friend has no problem selling BPs, but people tend to be more fearful of the boas. So I am considering trading my normal male for the little boa, but I'm not sure. Given the circumstances, what would you all do?

Keep the normal male I've raised from a baby? Or trade him for the gorgeous little boa that I could breed to my monster tail BCI in a few years if he does turn out to be male? And if not, he or she is still a gorgeous snake...and if female, that would be a killer deal. Thoughts?
