This whole deal goes to show that generally if the deal is to good to be true it is probably not true. A few weeks ago I posted a picture of a male boa that was sold to me as a hypo and I asked you all to make an opinion as to whether you thought he was a hypo or not. It was pretty unanimous that he was not hypo but was a nice pastel. After some delay he arrived. By delay I mean delay on the seller's part and delay because the seller sent him ground from West Virginia to Iowa. Anyway, once he arrived, after 3 days of being in a box with no heat or insulation surrounding the inside of the box, I was surprised that he and the adult female I purchased with him were still alive. I was also surprised to see that he was darker than in the pic that was sent to me. Even so the pair was worth the amount I paid($250 shipped). Despite their long cold trip they have been doing great the past couple of weeks. The female is a bit thin from having a litter this last spring and then having an owner that did not feed her well. She is a giant at over 7 ft long. I think I like her more than the male. She is in the first pic and the second two pics are the male.
