Re: Boa at Petco, considering it...
Personally, I would go with a reputable breeder, but if you feel comfortable buying from Petco, go for it.

Re: Boa at Petco, considering it...
If you're not purchasing anything else with the boa, then they probably won't budge on the price unless they really do have to move it (know from experience).
The price is too high for a normal, but it's already established so chances are it will eat and make a good pet.
I believe to be het for something
No matter how good you are with snakes, you can't just tell by looking at it. Hets are gene carriers.

Yeah, expecially when he is just plain idiotic and doesn't take care of his animals correctly. I got him into snakes, and he just rushed into everything because he was mad that his girlfriend had more than him

I am sure the price will go down, its just been itching at me for awhile now that he is still there.

Re: Boa at Petco, considering it...
If you love it, then go for it. Its your money. My local Petco sells them for 190. I wouldn't pay that much. I paid 50 for a boa last year at the San Diego show. I did purchase a Pastel BP, yes a Pastel BP, from Petco for 80.00. That was a steal. He had some mites but that's about it. He's a great snake and growing. I got lucky. Good luck.

Yeah, I paid 60 for a colombian red tail at the tinley show and he was drop dead gorgeous. You can get them so much cheaper else where, but this one has just gotten my attention. I stopped to look at him agian last night before work, trying to get up the money to go get him.
