You mind telling me what the price range was for little guys?

[Lucas339]

the guy selling them was in my herp club so i got a good deal. he had them listed on kingsnake for $45.

Those are awesome Lucas.

You are building quite a diverse collection.

3 foot average for ground boas. Care's a lot different than red tails too. Can be quite difficult, but fun snakes.

Smooth pick ups! What type of enclosure do you have them in? They are so tiny

it should be noted that from what people have been telling me is that these are tricky to get started. they wouldn't even look at a pinky so im getting some frogs. deff not a beginer snake!!

Judd, they are in large deli cups. i think they are the 6" diameter ones. the deli cups are in a tub with a heater. they are in a serious QT way away from my others.
