I think it is because of a collection of things. But first I am glad that boas are not like ball pythons. I love boas and I do not want them to become as exploited as balls have. I mean seriously a snake should never cost 70,000 dollars, i mean it is still just a ball python in the end. But I think the one thing that will save boas from becoming the next ball python is their size. An adult female ball python can be squeezed into a sweater box rack with maybe 20 or more females in that rack. An adult female boa is 7 feet or longer weighing over 25 pounds. That is a litte harder to mass produce and care for. So I will continue to pray that boas will never be like ball pythons and that maybe even the ball python market will fall through and they won't be the way they are now. I feel not enough people are appreciating them as beautiful snakes but instead thinking of them as $$$. But that is just my theory and ranting.
