Sorry, I can't really email back because my computer has virus issues, but I'll just reply here. That suri is actually just an import I picked out of a batch from a random dealer at a reptile show.
It is a beautiful animal, but keep in mind that I had to wean it from fowl to rat pups, it took long to acclimate, and it is at a greater risk of having parasites.
I personally could not afford a captive bred boa that looks like that one as they usually go for a few hundred dollars. I still may end up paying for it later in vet bills. (I also have to admit I like the idea of being responcible for bringing a beautiful new specemin's genes into the captive suri gene pool.)
But anyway, captive bred may be a good idea depending on your experience.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering because it looked exatly like the last 2 I sold from last years litter I had. I sold them to a whole saler, and they looked identicle to that. Beautiful snake. Good luck.
