First of all BEAUTIFUL, pictures don't capture their beauty.
LARGE snakes, too !!!

And yes, they have a huge head and I can only imagine how long those teeth must be

Quite a handful to handle, it wasn't aggressive, but it definitely isn't like handling a Ball Python, hehe.

Owner told me it eats A LOT and OFTEN. Grows fast, too.

Needs a pretty big enclosure, some space to climb around.

Def. a price in anyones collection, but not comparable to the average carpet python IMHO !!!
So jealous! They really look like very majestic animals (and that's just from the pictures ), I'm going to poke around the morelia forum and see if anyone in Wa has one or a pair I could go take a look at.

And definitely not going to think about purchasing one until I'm out of standard college living and have the room. Somehow I think a little experience with some other bigger animals might help Going from Balls to a Boelen's just doesn't seem like a good idea! Haha.

Thanks for the info though! I figure if I just keep collecting what I can for the next year or two (or three even) I'll be ready to house and take care of one by then. Not to mention the price tag might come down a little xD
