I'm looking to expand my snake collection by adding a dumerils boa.

I stopped by the local reptile shop this morning to check out the dumerils he has.

He's got 3 of them, the 2 that have the best markings aren't eating and he refuses to assist or force feed as he thinks, once a bad eater, always a bad eater and would assume he doesn't want the reputation of selling bad or troubled animals. He's asking $225 for the one he has that is eating well that I handled for the better part of an hour, AMAZING how docile and head friendly this yearling was, WOW.

I think I'm going to hold out to see what's available online and have a couple questions...

1. What is the average price for a dumerils boa with nice markings?
2. Where did you get yours and would you recommend them?

Thanks.
