Like the title says, I have a 2 year old Female Anery 66% het albino boa I am looking to sell. She is very friendly and has never struck at anything but rats period. She is approx. 5.5' in length and feeds on one large rat every ~9 days give or take. Never had a single health problem and I know at least a few people on here have seen/held her in person. "Paerabol" was an old roomie of mine and he knows how cool of a snake this is. I bought her from Brad up at Picasso Reptiles in north Raleigh for 400 bucks, so any reasonable offers will be considered.

I'm selling her because I'm looking to downsize to a ball python, so if you have one that has a very good personality, I might be interested in trading + cash. I can include a (now much too small) cage for her as well for some extra $, but I was hoping to keep it for a different snake. If I weren't moving around a ton in the next few years I would be keeping her, but lugging an eventually 8' boa around along with a 4'x2' 80lb cage will be a bit of a hassle. I know someone on here is looking for a boa!

Feel free to hit me up on AIM with any questions: "MartialArtsGuy3"

i need to play with mine more he's mean to me now lol


also if u keep feedings at the right schedule there is no reason why your boa cant stay a relatively small size. mine is ~4 feet. also balls suck and are too common/still get relatively big.


hell my other one is 3 feet and 5 years old or so. the prev. people never really fed it tho. although it's still healthy! just tiny.

^^^What the fucking hell. So you keep your kids in a crib their whole life so they never get big and you don't have to spend as much on food, clothing, and toys?

3/15/2007 5:38:58 PM

i just sold my ball today



i have a mexican mountain king (knoblochi) you can buy if you're interested

3/15/2007 6:01:15 PM

Bump this back up to the top. I'm really only looking for one ball python in trade at this point, but thanks for the offers so far. I have one person who is looking to adopt/buy her but that is not even close to definite at this point. Keeping this alive.

^^^THANK YOU.

be nice to snakes

3/18/2007 9:24:51 PM

what kind of food would she need full grown?

3/18/2007 9:25:30 PM

She would be eating jumbo rats or fetal piglets depending on how often you want to feed her. This wouldn't be for at least a couple more years though, she will do just fine on large rats for at least another year. 9' boas can easily get as big around as your thigh and are very strong animals. You usually size food to be approximately the same size in diameter as the snake.

can u please post pics. i want to convince my roommate to get this

3/18/2007 10:54:11 PM

^---baby picture to prove she is in fact anery.


^---most recent feeding pic. If she looks a little thin, she really isn't it's the angle of the camera. She's been down for the winter getting 1 large rat per month so her feeding schedule was slowed down, but she's back up to 1 large/9 days.

If you have any questions or need more pictures, PLEASE PM ME. I have ungodly amounts of pictures of almost all her feedings for the first year and about half from the second year. (I got lazy). She's an awesome snake and I would love to see her in a good home.

live food or frozen? also any kind of vet checkup or health information?

3/18/2007 11:32:18 PM

She was a captive born/bred boa, she hasn't been to the vet since she has never EVER had a respiratory infection/gut impaction or anything at all period. I don't have any vet records because of this, but she was born/bred as stated above from Brad at Picasso Reptiles in north Raleigh. She hasn't had a single problem ever, not even so much as refused a SINGLE rat ever. She has never struck at anyone ever, and even when she is PMS'ing when she's in shed she will ONLY hiss a little at you when you first reach into the cage and touch her. She chills out immediately afterwards and you can handle her w/o fear of anything regardless of her 'time of the month'. She is a fantastic snake, I hate to see her go, but I just don't have the room/resources to utilize her anymore. She will make someone a very happy owner, she is great around everyone. She eats live-stunned large rats, but I know for a fact that she has eaten at least 2-3 frozen-thawed rats before without any problem, so you can choose whether you want to feed her frozen-thawed or live food.

3/19/2007 3:12:12 PM

aw she's pretty

3/19/2007 4:13:24 PM

PM replied to. Do you have pics of your ball python to trade? How about some info on him like age/weight/feeding schedule/etc? I might be interested depending. How is his/her temperment?

-Steve

looks like a beautiful snake, gl with the sale. have you tried craigslist?

theres got be come sort of forums/classifieds where reptile lovers hang out. you'd probably have more luck there and get a better price considering this is some sort of special snake...

3/19/2007 8:27:09 PM

is the boa still for sale

3/19/2007 9:19:01 PM

Boa is still for sale.

3/20/2007 9:51:00 AM

The highest bid right now is $200 for the snake only, however the person is going to need a little time to put the money together. Keeping this alive.

-Steve

3/20/2007 12:16:10 PM

I have a perfect tank for her if anyone wants to buy it.
Its my iguanas old tank and in perfect condition.
Comes with screen top.

4 ft long x 2.5 (maybe 3) ft tall x 2 ft wide

I paid $250 for it. Will accept $100


Was keeping it in case i got the urge to get anything big but one big lizard is enough (in addition to the dragons, uro, and geckos)

3/20/2007 2:38:20 PM

^---assuming that the sides of the cage are actually about 3/4" thick plywood you would be ok once you replaced the screen top. A 3/4" thick sheet of Melamine from Home Depot costs $26 dollars for a 4'x8' sheet. I was going to make a new cage out of this but decided to find her a new home. Thanks for the assistance.

-Steve

3/20/2007 4:24:39 PM

Thats a cool snake, but the feeding pic creeps me the fuck out.

Is there any law about how big of a snake you can keep in your home?

3/20/2007 11:54:08 PM

I take her out of her cage to feed, I don't just let her roam freely. As far as I'm aware there are no laws regarding large snakes that you can keep in your home, though I think they are trying to pass legislation for the bigger retics and burms.

-Steve

3/21/2007 10:34:57 AM

is it bad idea to let her roam free? I think it would be pretty damn cool to have people over and there be a 9ft boa slithering into the room.


not that i would do that. unless i wanted to scare the shit out of someone. and id put her in the cage at night.

[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 11:29 AM. Reason : a]

It would not be a wise idea to let a 9' boa or any snake for that matter free-roam in your house.
