There truly is a lot out there. But the 2013 babies may not be too forthcoming quite yet. Some litters have only just been born and some females haven't gone yet. And now is the time when many breeders are looking over the litters they DO have and are making decisions about holdbacks. Give it a few more weeks or even a couple of months and you'll start to see a LOT more 2013 babies available!


It's not that I'd be settling for a suri, it's more of i'd prefer a Colombian...
No offense, but if you'd rather have a Colombian, then you absolutely should get a Colombian. BCCs are a whole other ball of wax from a BCI. They are much more sensitive to husbandry and tend to have a penitent for regurging if things aren't just right. I personally would not get one unless you are totally in love with Surinams and that is your FIRST choice for a boa. Just be patient - there are LOTS of great BCIs out there!

A few nice breeders for you:

Michael Masters (find him on facebook - to make sure you find the right "Michael", his cover picture is an emerald tree boa wrapped around an apple) - he has several very nice 2012 BCIs available right now. I recently picked one up from him and am extremely happy with the transaction. He's very responsive and professional.

Tim Koppenhoffer, www.SpecialKReptiles.com - has some outstanding babies available, both 2012 and 2013.

Gus Rentfro usually has more cooking than just BCCs. If he has Suris available now, he'll likely have some BCIs available very soon.

Legacy Reptiles may well have some nice 2013s shortly.

JimiSnakes, www.jimisnakes.com - great guy. He has a very few 2012s left. These are really nice snakes for a good price. In fact, he has a 2012 male anery 100% het vpi T+ available right now for $175. That is an excellent deal and that baby is pretty spectacular....

Manny at Perfect Predators - he ALWAYS has babies available. There were some negative remarks made awhile ago about Manny on the BOI, but my transaction with him earlier this spring was perfect. I also know several others who've bought from him and were very happy. I think he's straightened out. My leopard het albino male is perfect in every way and was perfectly packaged. And Manny answered all my questions. He has some expensive stuff, but there's quite a lot that's priced very reasonably - you just have to browse around his website a bit.
