Getting into boas, might buy one soon, need suggestions...
I've been getting into Boas lately and have been doing some research. I'm considering buying one soon, and I'm thinking of getting a snow, another type of albino, or a motley.
If not, I may just get a Dumerils instead. I'm not really sure yet. Of all the albinos I've seen, the snow is my favorite so far(despite the yellowing as they grow older). Does anyone know how much a young male goes for? I saw a female for sale for about $600.
I've always kept Pythons, I've never actually owned a Boa and I'm pretty excited about getting one. So please feel free to throw some random Boa tips at me!!!

Dumeril's boas are super cool snakes.
My dum is the calmest snake I've ever held and eats like a champ.

That price for a snow is really good. Last season they cost 1k.
Boas are a really easy to care for snake and are seldom plagued with a lot of they royal python problems.

Re: Getting into boas, might buy one soon, need suggestions...
Boas are awesome. Good choice to get into. Great heavy bodied snake, but still easy to handle!
A female Snow for $600 sounds like a price where I would buy 4 of them! But, everything is pricier up here in the Great White North.
If you like the Albino gene, Snow would definitely be good to go with. Especially a female. Having a Double Recessive female is a major plus (if you ever decide to breed). Albino Motleys, Sunglows, Albino Arabesques and Albino Jungles are some other pretty Albino morphs for a reasonable price.

Re: Getting into boas, might buy one soon, need suggestions...
Hey! good desition to get into boas world... I own 3 bci + 1 retic, in my experience, retic is easy to deal with, eat, shed, poop, very active and nice. Boas.... uhmm, a lot different, very picky to my opinion, and sometimes they`ve driven crazy. Do not eat for weeks... not too much active, but very nice too, eventhough my friend, They are my favorite ones!!
