Buying a ball python

[tRiP]

kinda looks like a Hogg Island to me, or at least has some HI in her. If so than it should stay on the smaller side for boas, even still my girl is just over 6 feet, and my adult ball is around the 4.5'-5' mark.

I don't think it's a Hogg Island, there's no speckling on the body. I'm thinking it's a sunglow boa. Hard to tell. Lighting can make a sunglow look entirely diiferent, but I'd put my money on a sunglow boa.

How much is the seller wanting for this "Ball Python"? Could be worth buying it to resell.

Yea def. not a ball.....its a boa...but I don't think it is a red tail....not grey enough. But then again I do not know the different kinds of boa's but you can tell my the shape of the head and the type of pattern on him.

[Kaorte]

how can you be so sure? the pattern of it im guessing, because i have never seen a python with a pattern like that thats why i wanted to ask...I also just realized/notice the shape of its head is what a boa's head looks like, lol sorry for asking a stupid question

Well first of all, it looks nothing like a ball python.

Just google "red tail boa" and it will pop up with something that look just like what you have pictured.

seller is selling it with the enclosure for $125, after learning that it is a boa im no longer interested lol

buy it, and take good care of it, and sell it for more than you paid lol.

if it is a red tail boa, it is worth over $100 alone without the enclosure.

I'd buy it. It is definitely a boa and while I'm no expert on boa morphs, that one looks to be a morph, not a normal. As one mentioned, it might be a sunglow boa or I would also throw out a salmon.

Yeah i'd say a red tail or columbian boa. Hard to tell if its a true red tail from those pics.

Not a stupid question at all. It's better to ask and know than to get it home and go "whoa, this isn't what I thought I was buying!". I'd buy it, too.
