I'm not so sure Boa constrictors of any subspecies are legal in Toronto. You might want to check your By-laws first. If they *are* legal, I always recommend checking Kijiji first - there are tons of snakes needing new homes on there every day.

Buying from the US in not necessary as Nics are fairlly common here. I agree with Todd about checking Kijiji first.

Are you getting a nic as your first snake?
Go check out an expo or find some reputable online breeders that ship internationally.
