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

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.

Ah, I didn't realize this was a store. That makes sense. They still might go 6 weeks if you paid half or full up front and explained your situation. That is, of course, if you decide this is the one. And, yes, there will always be one you like - boas are addictive and I bet you can't have just one!

I like him, but I'm not sure the salmon with no blacks is it for me or not. Ideally I like the Colombians that look a bit like the Peruvian color scheme. I like the yellowish and the blacks like the one Morti posted pic #3 I think. Although that was a Peruvian. I don't mind some speckles either.

I'll have to see what comes around. Gus Rentrfro had a nice one but it sold. I think I'm just a little too far off to reserve anything right now. Once I get the cage I'll be set.

There is a reptile expo here April 27-28 however and I could score there too.

The expo will be a great place to see a lot! Only downside there is that if you do find one, you'll have to buy it right then. But you should have your cage by then too. BTW, a good t-stat is the Hyrdofarm off Amazon - it's only around $35 and really works. It's a great choice for someone on a budget and Amazon ships immediately. Order this weekend and you'll have it by Tuesday.

And here are a few hypos to tempt you.....
