Im not very familular with boa color to an extreme point but I know that some of you guys are

is this statement true of a red tailed boa?

HE IS VERY RARE this type of coloring is very hard to come by he has a little sadle red and a yellow tail and he has diamonds all over hes a beautiful snake

I am mostly concerned about this yellow bit? Is that true? Would that be considdered rare?

Sounds like a bunch of poop to me... from what I can even understand of that statement

Has the person saying this to you shown you any pics?? If so, you should post em here for everyone.. You'll get many more opinions that way

i think hes messing with u and trying to sell u a normal one with lots of specals lol

Yeah thats what I think too, I mean the whole statement just sounds odd.
I don`t have any pictures either. I am even wondering if it is a redtailed boa with the comments about a yellow tail?

What kind of Red Tail did he claim it to be?? My guess is a Colombian.. So, not even a true red tail.. I think you should start looking elsewhere

Find someone willing to provide pics.

Hey matt

I made a phone call about it

oh jeez - problem is its a 12 year old girl(who her 12th bday is today as a matter of fact)

Talked to the g-ma on the phone and g-ma said its too big for her to handle anymore and are looking for something thats smaller

I said I would call back tonight and talk to the dad

now the emails all make sense

She might just be explaining an albino in a very weird way. A columbian would have diamond shaped markings on its sides and the saddles would have a darker coloring to them almost a pink color, and the body would be yellowish. IDK, may just be BS though.

I find it hard to believe a 12 year old that is unprepared for a Bci would end up with an albino much less. Usually *some* research has been done before dropping $1000+ on a snake

yeah me too...but her father bought it for her because some ppl in calgary didn`t want it and she wanted a boa really bad - her father said he paid 350.00 for the snake a lone, and when they were having problems when they first brought it home - they took it to The UofS and the university said that it was a very rare pattern. THey aren`t asking much for it they are just looking for a good home, because this snake is now too big for this little girl to handle

*edit* i`m trying to get pictures, and if I do i`ll post em
