Whats a good price for a Rainbow Boa ?

Looking to geat a rainbow boa and found one recently for $195 some where between 10-12" Just looking for some in put thanks

thats about right, could probably offer $180 or a little less too. the shop i go to sells 14-16 inchers for 200. i would demand to see his feeding response two weeks in a row at that size though, or not buy it. they can be finicky eaters and moving one that is already not eating well may push him over the edge.
good luck with him. they are very cool snakes.

Thanks for the advice I would be buying from a private breeder with an outstanding reputation for quality and he is a close friend of a close friend whom both breed reptiles

depends on what kind of rainbow boa

 

[dpk2313]

well it looks similar to this if it helps

I was unaware there are different kinds

tell them to let you hold it,if it bites you,its free.

yeah, forgot they can be nippy. connections like that and still 195, thats harsh!

 

[dpk2313]

I know they're $275 normally tho so and he hasn't had to drop price to draw customers so I figure he must be pretty good

 

[MyFishEatYourFish]

yeah, guess it just depends on what part of the country youre in.
