These are great animals, but they are for whatever reason extremely hard to come by as captive bred. If you wait around a year or two there might be some pop up here and there, but by and large the majority of Boiga that I have seen are wild caught. If you do get one, be sure you know enough about basic reptile husbandry to quarantine and do fecals to check for parasites and medicate accordingly (of course, I'd consider this basic reptile husbandry a *MUST* for anybody getting into any venomous husbandry).
