My advice is to strictly buy in person if you can help it that way you can get a feel for the snakes individual temperament, and see what their colors look like in person (my girls colors do not show well in my pictures). I had hundreds of snakes to look at, weeded it down to a few, then saw this girl and that was that. Much more fun experience than picking one out online, and you can be more sure of your decision I think. I made myself wait months until Tinley, it was tough but worth it.

Be ready for your boa to be your favorite over the balls. They are much more fun to handle!

i will for sure be buying in person my local petstore the owner is going to order in a couple and is going to let me pick out the one i like... i dont really like buying any live animal online because you just never really know what you are going to get (not putting any breeder out their down its just personal preference) i get all my animals from my local petstore because he will order in anything i want and he will make sure it eats and is not agressive or anything like that before he hands it over to me... thank you
