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.

Be great to hear from you all.

Please stay on topic.

Argentines... prettiest critters I ever did see.

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.

Oh well this was fun figuring this out.

EVERYONE:

Nice listings so far, great to see people thinking and trying this fun post out.

TIM FRIESEN:

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

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.

[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

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

HEATHER:

Nice selections indeed.

GREENMAN:

Now your thinking, Sharps are a serious plus.

[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.
