Hi, I have a project in mind that id really like to do. I've never bred boas before, this coming season, just about next year will by my first. I want to deal with sharpstrains not only because they are beautiful but because kahl are just everywhere. Theres just too many of those floating around in the pet trade.

I want to save up for a few months until another big reptile show comes through chicago, and blow all of my hard earned money on two adult sharpstrain females (i won't hold my breath). Assuming a breeder would want to let them go what would they be priced at? I say assuming because i never see adult female or even adult male sharps for sale, and am aware that an adult female sharpstrain is in most cases without question a hold back.(understandable). Seems like every sharp past a year old is a hold back. And i ask how much for the same reason, I've never seen any available, have no idea what these guys would be priced at at that age.

And i know i will probobly have to pay more then the worth to actually get one, but rather then buying a few salmons, and jungles ect. I want to produce something that hasnt yet been produced, i've had this project in mind ("day-dream" might be a better term) for a while now and will spend what i have to spend as long as i have it to spend(which at this point i dont). But If i were to get a baby sharp female today it still wouldnt be till 2010-2011 when i would produce what im aiming for. If i had a adult i could produce this morph by 2009 as long as all goes well.

Did I need to include all that? Probobly not.

So if you guys could let me know your guess of what i would have to pay for and adult sharp female, or even the very least you yourself would let one go for i would appreciate it very much.
Thanks
