    Re: what is the best type of housing

    Boelens aren't too hard to find. Its just what time of year to start looking. They run about $5,000 a piece or so. I've debated picking some up....

    As for the woma's...I gotta say, Blackheads blew them out of the water towards intelligence!

    Re: what is the best type of housing

    Andrew, thanks so much for sharing your insight, especially about the enjoyment of owning a blackhead and their apparent intelligence over womas. I've always loved the look and size of both species, so it's very interesting to hear some comments from a keeper who has experience with them. =)

    Black heads need a lot of room. Like the Drys, they love to cruise and are very handle-able. Our male is in a 6' AP and I'm thinking of bumping him up to an 8 footer. The aspidites in general are like big colubrids in so many ways.....

    They are out there and are becoming more and more available. Prices are also finally beginning to drop.
