Thumbs up 8 boas 15K what would you get?

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.

Be great to hear from you all.

Please stay on topic.

Now that is a question that will have to be thought out.
Let you know by the end of the day.

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.

Oh well this was fun figuring this out.

1 labrynth burm
1 dwarf tiger retic
1 sweet surinam boa

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.

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
