these are just my thoughts about this..
I don't think there is a good way of making any general pricing standards for boas.. $360 seems like a fair price for a hypo, but I've seen hypos priced from less to much more also - just depending on how much you like it and how well it fits for you as a pet or as a future breeder.

some hypos are dominant (super hypos) for the hypomelinism trait meaning that all their offspring will be hypos.
Some hypos are not dominant and roughly half of their offspring will be hypos.. depending of course on what you are breeding it to.

so, super hypos or possible supers could theoritically be worth more than non super hypos.. pricing is also strongly infulenced by things such as the color, the health of the animal, and to some extent on the reputation of the breeder.

good luck,
Patrick
