Ah, the joys of being broke.

I forgot the one thing I want most for Christmas, but am really least likely to get. A baby rainbow boa! (Brazillian by preference, though Columbians are pretty neat too.) I have the setup and everything, since I moved my ball python Anthony up a tank size. I just lack the snake itself. But at a pricetag from $100 plus whatever shipping is for a slightly dubious Columbian purchased over the net to $220 for a lovely if shy Brazilian from the local reptile place, they are very much out of my reach right now. There are many other things that are a higher priority just now, sadly.

Someday though!

:D

Columbians are BITCHY! we had one at the zoo i volunteered at, she was soo hissy. She never snapped at me but bit a couple other people. I think I may know of a good breeder somewhat close to OR:

Yeah, my first snake bite was from a Columbian. I didn't even own it, and I got bit. But apparently they usually mellow if they're handled a lot early on.

I already know a good local source, it's just the money that's the issue.
