Well I'm trying to organize a trip to the breeder and take a look at the animals he acquired from suriname; he is way too beautiful and way too good of a price to ignore it. Hopefully i shall have a chance to get an idea of the mood they're in.

I see what you mean with stress levels. I've never experience it with CB Boas but i know what it means from BPs and CPs. Well i have everything figured out for him and the husbandry in order to reduce the stress-levels. I kinda worry about the aggressiveness. I know it is (or will be) a big snake, and i don't have a problem with it. I just don't think i could handle so much aggression with no reason. The breeder said that's not the case but i've heard of snakes turning 180 degrees when changing homes.

Any owners of WC out there?
Honestly if this seller has had this animal for a while and the health card is clean and free of disease, I doubt you'll have any issues.

The "stories" of the WC nightmares also go hand in hand with the early caging and husbandry practices. There have been so many advances in care that can lead to success when acquiring a WC animal.

Couple that with the fact you have a rather well established animal that is not a fresh captive and I see no reason you'd have issues.

Just be vigilant about the transition and care early on, and I doubt you'll have issues.

I'm looking forward to photos as I think WC animals have the most beautiful "Mother Nature" paint jobs there around.
