hypoboa1 Jun 20, 2004 01:49 PM

Happy Fathers Day everyone!Was wandering if anybody had any information on nw reptiles?Is this a legitamet business?An $90.00 fpr a guyana redtail baby,isnt this kinda cheap?I know how the old saying goes if it sounds to good to be true it is!Ever since I got into the boa world a year ago I have always wanted a surname or a guyana,they are so beautiful!But I figured I needed some experience with boas first,before I took on the upbringing of a true redtail!I have had 7 redtails full time for the past year an have actually owned 16 of them,2 of these were actually pythons one burm an one bp!So I have my 7 that are keepers 3 females an 4 males,an now I would like to get a guyana or surname,But with being on a fixed income because I am disabled,I cant afford no 500.00 dollar boa an 90.00 shipping is reasonable for me but scarry too,cause I cant afford to be ripped off either!I figure that this is WC,probably,but if anyone can help me with some info on this company an some info on what to do,being that I live in a town,where vets arent too knowladgeable about boa's on any treatment I might need to give this boa while in quarentine!Thanks ahead of time,Charles[Hypoboa]

those are fresh imports. To make that a good deal for you, you'd better purchase several and hope that one or two make it. Your experience had better include acclimating a fresh import as well and I'm guessing you're going to need a nice knowledge base of medications. And lastly, a WHOLE lot of patience.
