You have room for 3 boas, so you'd be able to have 1.2 (one male & two females). Frequently, but not always, a male can take care of two females. This way you wouldn't have to worry about shipping your girls off to who knows where. Unless you have a real good friend that you totally trust who is a very experienced herper that you can do loans with, you would be WAY WAY better off having one male and two females. That way you could have a male albino, a female snow, and a third female of your choosing (among all the more expensive morphs het albino i.e. arabesque het albino, leopard het albino, even motley het albino, or a sunglow, or DH sunglow, a snow a DH snow, etc.). Or a Snow male and a female albino and the second female could be a jungle and you could make jungles het for snow, or the hets you made 3 years before ie. Snow male X jungle het snow, etc). There are lots of ways to go. I think that considering buying snakes an investment is specious though. It's part gamble, part investment, part luck, part hard work, and part heart.
