No because I've heard their reputation, and strongly avoid any company like them. Many people have gotten dead animals from them, ill animals from them, the wrong animals shipped and then they never got the right animal, etc. It's a hit or miss with Underground, but honestly it sounds like your boa was as likely wild caught as it was fed live.

If I'm not mistaken Underground Reptiles also sells a lot of wild caught animals. Generally, any company that has such a huge variety of species is best to steer away from, it generally points towards reptile farming/importing as opposed to them breeding the animals. The majority of keepers don't have a need for wild caught imports, and they can be more difficult to get started and keep healthy.

Outback Reptiles is another company to avoid due to the same issues, and LLReptiles also sells a lot of wild caught animals and is a flipping business, they don't breed the majority of their animals.
