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

"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. "


I will probably go with a Herpstat II or I since I'm comfortable with them, I can't decide if I'll be OK with just one heat source as of yet.

No worries! Herpstats are wonderful! But if you're on a budget, don't discount the Hydrofarm. This is a really good t-stat for a very low cost. Well worth picking one up to get you started, then get the Herpstat when you've got the money and use the Hydrofarm as your backup.

Actually those boas look a lot like the guy I held yesterday. Salmons and hypos, while beautiful lack the black I like so I'm not sure if I should choose a snake based on color and pattern only, or add personality into the mix. BTW I like your snakes, just stating my color preference.

Of course - a lot of people don't like hypos too well. Don't get a hypo if you don't like orange and pink, lol... No reason you shouldn't have a color preferance! That's the beauty of all the color varieties!

Soooo,, do you have any normals or BCI X BCC crosses that you have pictures of? I saw one of Tom Mccarthy's male crosses that I liked a lot. I'm not sure how I feel about mixing localities in the long run, but for a non breeding owner I would certainly be OK owning one.

No, ironically, I don't have a single normal. And no BCCs either. My only "normal" is my pure Argentine male, but he's a BCO, not a BCI. Here's a pic of him anyhow for comparison.

And a close up for color....
