I have a really nice rubber boa.... easy to care for, hardly ever eats, and never bites!
latin name: boa rubericus baloonicus
Here are some pics of mine eating....

The downside to the boa rubericus baloonicus is that they get HUGE!!!!

SnowSnake,
Next time try posting this type of ad in the Classifieds, I left it up in the discussion forums due to all the responses it had accumulated. As for breeding these little guys, there are not many up this way. Roy Stockwell aquired some earlier this year, however I cannot remember how old they were, but he does plan on breeding them. He is located in Ontario, but does not ship his animals. Sorry I could not be of more help, good luck with your search ;)

Stormyva,
Hahaha great pics! :p

I know they are illegal in BC, and i thought they were in all of Canada. Are people allowed to keep them anywhere outside of BC (legally ;))?

They are illegal because they are native, and to a lesser extent endangered. in BC you are not allowed to keep any native reptiles without permits.

Kyle is right. I also think they do not defferinciate between species so you can not buy "American" Rubber boas either. To bad they are really cool!
