If the OP is interested in Dwarf Boas, message me. I've got a friend about 2 minutes away from me that breeds them.

They are also a cheaper snake, you can get one for $150 from backwater reptile.com

Around me Dums go for around $60-90 and BRBs around $125-175.

As has been stated stay away from backwater reptiles... Just do a fuanaclassifieds board of inquiry search on them and you'll see what were talking about; there are some bad ones. It's a good idea to not suggest places for people to buy from if you have no experience with them.

^^ It is an excellent idea to always check the BOI first. If there is nothing there,, you can always post a question about a breeder (you'll see examples where that has been done). Good luck!

Have you heard of Dominican Red Mountain Boas by any chance? They are great snakes and they average 4-6'. They are not aggressive and hardly will strike; they actually will typically musk as a defense mechanism. Their color and pattern will also intensify and get brighter as the DRMB ages.

If this is something you may be interested i have some babies for sale that i bred last year. I'm trying to sell my collection unfortunately because i'm currently planning my wedding and could use the extra cash and i also no longer have the extra space for a breeder rack and 4'x2'x2 1/2' tanks. I have them priced to sell. Tom Crutchfield is selling his babies for more than double, and my adults i purchased from him 3 years ago.

Best Regards,

How about a Hog Island? I have read great stuff about them - size, temperament, etc. and am contemplating getting one as my first boa.
