Hey buys and flips other people's snakes at "Bob Clark" prices. He's sold sick snakes or snakes with mites. He artificially inflates the prices of any new morphs he gets and then rips on people when they get a hold of said morph and undercuts his price at a fair market price. He's also really high on himself. Don't get me wrong he's got some amazing animals and there are instances where I would send someone to him, but if you can get it somewhere else, I would go there first. There's a reason a large number of his retic sales are overseas now.
That said he's definitely not the only breeder that does this. But he's one of the biggest names in the business.

I still highly recommend my first two suggestions first and foremost... Blake Bauer also keeps carpet pythons, and Tom Keogan I think does too. I wish I was more into the boa crowd... VPI would be another good place to look, but really both species are everywhere, any size and age, and many different prices, ranging probably from $50-$100,000. I would like to point out adult caging needs to be factored in as well, needing a 4x2x1 at the LEAST(you said you wanted big, I would 6x2x2...) which can cost a pretty penny as well, not to mention new heating equipment etc... Rabbits or multiple large rats... lots of things to consider. Where are you going to live with an 8 foot snake?(anywhere you want I would think... but apparently not) Where as you can hide a ball python, or get away with it even... Oh I can't wait to move now................. Local classifieds will probably have lots as well, not everyone buys a snake as a long term pet unfortunately(some due to circumstances, but take with a grain of salt obviously) Good luck again!

I'm considering possibly buying a BCI from Rainbows-r-us. As for caging my dad works construction and has already agreed to help me make 2 tanks (one for my BP and another for whichever snake i decide to get i suppose)
Can someone send me to a good BCI care sheet? i do the searches myself usually but i always end up with different info from each site i look at.

haha i hadn't read through the whole thread. I say like sometimes. California girl all the way. Depends on who i'm talking to. I do todally do the "omg like totally" thing when excited! : )

I think its cute when girls say like a lot lol, not sure why...

Boa care is fairly easy, its a lot like keeping other boids I find. The universal 80* cool side 90* hot side can be used, humidity I like around 50%, usually brought up by using a large water bowl, feed a good size meal every once in a while and your good to go. Cage size 4x2x2 for an adult, shouldn't need anything bigger then 2 pound rabbits, which I would feed monthly as an adult. Other then that, they really don't have a lot of specific care guidelines, so it should be fairly easy for you! I keep the babies the same way I keep ball pythons honestly...
