I am finally getting one of my dream pets! When I was in my LPS a couple days ago picking up some food for my new oscar, I met a couple who came in with their m/f pair of albino red tailed boas. They had brought them in because they are looking to sell them and wanted to show them to the store. We got to talking and I held one for a while and absolutely fell in love. They are asking a pretty low price for both because they are expecting a baby and just need to get them sold, although they hate to have to rehome them. I told them if I had my own place I would have bought them in a heartbeat but I'm living with my mom right now and ahe would have a heart attack then murder me if I brought even one snake home. Or if I even asked. I told my snake hating boyfriend about it, and then when I came up to see him last night he actually offered to keep them until I move out. Because even though he is terrified of snakes he knows its a great deal that I will probably never find again, and he loves me. So I contacted the guy today and will soon figure out when I can go get them. I'm so excited. These are the most beautiful snakes I have ever seen, and very docile and friendly. $500 for both plus all the accessories. Any tips from snake owners out there? I know the basics, I've been researching snake care since I was like 6 and first fell in love with snakes. But hands on experience is usually better than anything you can learn out of a book.
