I will say this... Thank you for not buying the Boa...

Snakes that have RI's at shows are the plauge... I got a PB Pastel for $100 who had one and $2,000 later (for him alone, another $1,000 for the two he got sick) he's getting better...but there is no sure sign...

My first show visit was a let down.... My burmese died 3 days later from internal problems. That still hurts...

My pastel.. Well I told you..lol..

And my glass cage cracked...

I'll be a "mean" reviewer here.. You should have called out the RI.. I'm sorry but people should not buy ANY snake if it has a ri... That's just my personal belief.. I know you can't be sure all the time.. And some times it will happen, but I HATE... when sellers knowingly sell sick snakes..

You did do good walking away from the other guy.. It sucks yes.. BUT why bring up drama when you like the snakes? Now if you paid like $200 or more i'd understand......lol
