That's right Cat, you'll have them, not me, ergo, I hate you!
Say do you need any aneries? Those I got.

If you don't mind my asking, Cat. Where did you get her? I'm interested in buying an albino, and wouldn't mind one het for snow.

[TheRedDragon]

She looks awesome, when you breed her, be sure to send some of the babies our way. :D

[althena]

Very cute. :) If you breed them I would love to buy a snow!

I'm breeding 2 pairs of KSB and will get het snows so.. yeah. :D

Ummm.... bull$h!t. You cannot get an albino Kenyan for $40, and if you can, I want to know where. You can get normal Kenyans for $40, but not albinos.

Oh, it's "da factz" is it? Wrong again. Kenyans thrive far better in shredded aspen or carefresh than they do in sand for the following reasons: 1) Better air flow. 2) Sand retains way too much heat. 3) Sand can be inhaled, and does cause impactions.

Besides this fact, in the wild, they don't actually bury themselves in sand unless they have to. They are more likely to find ready-made burrows and just try to get to the lowest point possible. Sometimes this just means hiding under a rock if that's the lowest point they can get to. In no way does a sand boa REQUIRE sand. They just need to feel that they have something above them.

Before you spout off "da factz", maybe you should GET "da factz".

By the way Chaos, that is a stunning san boa, I'm extremely envious. I'd ask you to ship me some babies, but there is NO WAY you'll ever get those over the border. I believe they are CITES "F**k off" listed. :D

invictus take it easy on the kid LOL. You know i can get KSB's for $5 LOL

It's true, KSB are totally going to depreciate in Canada, far too many in Canada, only aneries, albinos, and Nuclear's are going to keep their prices.

ballpython101: uhhh Invictus is right. You cannot get albino KSB for $40-$50. No way, no how. They will not be that cheap for a LONG time.

Care fresh is one of the best beddings, and it works pretty well for all my smaller snakes. :)

do your research before "correcting" someone, please. :)

Invictus: thanks, man :) I also tend to sift the carefresh to get the dust out before using it, helps keep the dust from getting in the boa's nose. I've been using carefresh for years without any problems. Its too bad they are CITES!!! Ah well.

I have a 1.1 pair of Anery's on the way here right now, and a 1.0 normal het anery.. just need to find an anery het snow. hmmmmm

Very nice,, Congrats! Good luck with your project ;)

[BoidKeeper]

Well lucky me because Nukes and anerys are I'm working with! Now I need to find an albino.
Actually I was thinking that the price may stay stable for a bit given the recent rise in popularity. It seems like a lot of people have been asking for KSB and RB lately.
Cheers,
Trevor

I think what bp101 meant was he could get a normal for 40-50 bucks.
