Why not?

Common boa constrictor imperiator , nothing special....

Jay, it MAY be an anery.

I personally was going to guess it's a live boa.

True, hopfully he uploads a half decent picture.

How can you tell if it's a live boa for sure?

**Aaron_S** · 08-04-12, 06:31 PM

Good point.

I figure it's due to the position it's in and the muscle tone.

I can't get a better picture because that the only one that the ad had, and the reason I was hoping for a ID is so I could look it up and do a bit more research

If you tell us what the ad says we might be able to agree or disagree then

**Aaron_S** · 08-04-12, 09:17 PM

So it's an ad and a snake you want to buy. I see now. Why not tell us what the ad says...

5 Month old Male HET CAL Boa. - Peterborough Pets For Sale - Kijiji Peterborough Canada.

this here is the ad, I tried to google Het cal but I have no idea what he was trying to say

Here's a novel idea....how about you just ASK the guy?! Whoa! I know my universe was just blown away with that one!

Anyway, it's $200 bucks. It's probably nothing crazy.

My guess is that the owner bought the snake from a pet store and hasn't a clue what it really is. But yeah, if he's rehoming for 200, it's probably just a common boa, nothing special.

I wouldn't pay more $100 for that particular snake, actually I wouldn't even purchase that sanke.
