That's a really attractive snake. If you have the space and the financial means to take care of them, why not?

Honestly I would pass it up. I see people get caught up in the fervor all the time that get too many to quick and end up having to sell their collection.

I appreciate your Honestly Korbin and agree with you 100%. BUT, I'm not new to Boas and currently have 4. I have the equipment right now to house 8 neonates and 5 adults.

I've been working with Boas on and off now for about 22 years. Although I am far from rich, money isn't an issue for my snakes.

He's basically saying a lot of new herpers acquire too many in a short period of time and realize that they don't have the time or space when all of their animals grow up. I'm guilty of this in the past which is why I only keep a small collection that I can actually handle.
