All the cool stuff I've been told is true so far!

Believe me, I know EXACTLY what you are feeling!! When my hubby handled his very first boa as an adult, he fell head over heals and now fully supports my addiction!

Why is it too much time to put money down on this 2011? I mean no disrespect in asking that - don't mean to be nosy. I have a deposit on a female snow that I did in December and she won't be paid for until shipping weather improves - so not til mid-april. That's a delay of more than 3 months! Now I know a lot of breeders won't be quite as flexible, but payment plans are very common - and 5 weeks is nothing. If you reeeally like this boy, ask her if she's let you put a down payment on him now and pay him off when the cages arrive.

Not being nosy at all. I think because its a store they sell first come first serve. I think they would hold something for 30 days but I think my cage is still being made and I still have to get a thermostat. I want to be all set before I get anything. I can call and check, but my guess is they have to feed and maintain it for that much longer. Although for a boa 30 days could be 2 meals. The older snakes seem to cost more and I get it, as they have put more time into the animal.

I may call tomorrow. I think there are other fish in the see and I could find something I like just as much.
