Actually, $80 isn't really all that bad if you really like the snake and it's healthy. Sure, you can find a normal for less, but is it worth saving only about $40 and maybe not get the one you want? And if his color is exceptional, you might find the genetics will surprise you - he could be a pastel, which although isn't genetic, does lighten and brighten when combined with other morphs.
You can't always put a price on an animal - whether you're buying or selling. If you have a spare heat mat, a tub is negligible, and a hydrofarm t-stat will only run you about $30 off amazon. I'd keep the BP, but go ahead and get the boa. It's almost Christmas! Merry Christmas to you, lol! You deserve him.![]()
