Thanks, guys. I'm not really looking for boa care info since sites like riobravo and this one have it pretty much covered. I'm just looking for someone who has some large snakes that they wouldn't mind showing off. I've been to Hoffer's and was very unimpressed - their cages were dirty, they had unsupervised mice running around in some of the ball pythons cages, and the staff were mostly concerned with making a buck rather than actually giving people good reliable info. I want to see, in person, a large boa and get a feel for what I am getting into. All I have for comparison are ball pythons...not much comparison.
Anyways, I have now decided that I want a surinam, and I'm pretty positive that of the few breeders of those in the country, they aren't in my neck of the woods.Now, if I could only get a hold of them...
