8 boas 15K what would you get?

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

EVERYONE:

This was brought up in the ball python section and thought it was interesting to ask in the boa section.

Lets say you have space for 8 boas only and a budget of $15,000 Canadian dollars or ($12,337.58 USA dollars), what would you buy to create your collection?

Remember this is not future breedings and all, just 8 boas and that is all you can keep in your home with a 15K budget.

I am still thinking this 1 out while I am writing this post and watching Windtalkers on TV. :D

Be great to hear from you all.

Please stay on topic.

Argentines... prettiest critters I ever did see.

[dtocher]

Thanks to my most recent developement (see the thread: Rescued Brazilian Rainbow Q's), I'd get nice sliding door/racks to keep as many as these amazing guys as possible.

EVERYONE:

Thought it out with a budget of 15K, hmmmmm.

Poss. Super Ghost Boa
Arabesque Boa
Pastel Albino Boa
Sunglow Boa

This group hits that scale already but its only 4 boas :(

Was chatting with a friend this second option is also very nice and all 7 would be a group.

Poss. Super Ghost Boa
Sharp Albino Boa
Jungle (none abberant) Boa
Poss. Super Salmon Boa
Pair - 100% Het Sharp Albino Boas
Arabesque Boa (high end)

Still not 8 but close enough, loads of color and pattern in this group. :D

Oh well this was fun figuring this out.

:D

TIM FRIESEN:

Sweet list indeed, picked all your favorites I see, and still in budget :D

Tony

[HeatherRose]

All the Epicrates I could get my hands on, especially an Argentinian Rainbow Boa...

Maybe some diamond studded Versace shades for my ball python, after the fact. :cool:

[greenman1867]

I would say:

1 Snow male or female
1.1 Sharp Albino
a really nice Salmon would be cool too :)

LOL I never knew they made designer Shades for Balls, must be pricey :cool:

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

HEATHER:

Nice selections indeed.

GREENMAN:

Now your thinking, Sharps are a serious plus. :D

Tony

[repticfreak7]

I wouldn't get any boas.
These would be my choices.

1.1 Tiger Retics
1.1 Normal Retics
1.1 Normal Burms
1.1 Albino Burms

Those are my favorite snakes.

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

REPTICFREAK:

Retics and Burms ????

Joking good choices as well.

Tony

[greenman1867]

[SerpentLust]

Oh My turn, eight eh?

1.1 Albino BCI
1.1 Anery het snow
1.1 Dumerils
0.1 ETB
0.1 Colombian Rainbow

I'm absolutely in love with Dumerils to be honest, I think their patterns are stunning :)

[JonD]

I'd shop around for some of the finest emeralds, and amazons and Longtails!;)

[Bartman]

How much would those fire bellies go for? Id get 1.1 them!

[Firkraag]

I live in denmark, so i have no idea on what the different boas cost in canada :D

But my list would be like this:

0.1 snow boa
1.1 boa constrictor longicauda (getting 2.2 in a month or so :D
1.1 boa c.c. trinidad
1.1 Boa c.i. mexico 'sonora'
1.0 hog island boa

thats my wishlist, how much would something like that cost in canada?

And am i the only one here who likes the different subspecies of boa constrictor?
:)

[SerpentLust]

Whoops, I forgot all about ATB's! Scratch my ETB and Colombian! I'd get a nice 1.1 pair of colored ATB's!

[bighillreptiles]

one of these boas lolhttp://www.ssnakess.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&goto=newpost&threadid=63551

[bubba]

I'm afraid I would have to sell 7 of the cages (good ones I assume) and add that money to the 15K and try to find an albino anaconda somewhere.

[RB420]

i wish i had that kinda coin to go straight to snakes.....

when i turn 25 (5 years from now) i happen to inherit a nice bit of money, at which time i plan on getting a pair of really nice patterned ETBs but until then my snake collection will stay at what it is now, my BP and my BCI. i just dont have that kinda space to keep more in my apt...unless i kick the wife and kid out and turn the one room to a snake room lol j/k

[C.ADAMANTEUS]

I would have to quote one of tonys varieties
"Poss. Super Ghost Boa
Sharp Albino Boa
Jungle (none abberant) Boa
Poss. Super Salmon Boa
Pair - 100% Het Sharp Albino Boas
Arabesque Boa (high end)"
Since i have a strong adoration for albino mutations
