Hello, I see some Hogg island boas going for around 250$ for breeders (actually i'm not sure what age but pretty big), and Brazilian Rainbow Boas, young adults going for around the same price, well here is a list of what I was looking to get for future projects and pets, and i'm looking to spend around $500.00 for 1.1 or them, well...

1.1 blood pythons
1.1 Hogg Island boas.
1.1 Brazilian Rainbow boas
1.1 dumerils boas
1.1 jungle carpet pythons
1.1 coastal carpet pythons
1.1 carpet pythons

I was looking to buy 1 of these breeding groups, which of these would be an apropriate size, and easily cared for, and docile as in temperment, and would be FAIRLY easy to breed, I want your thoughts!!!

Do not take this the wrong way, but do you have any experience with Boas? Are you familiar with the proper husbandry for each local? Caring for a BRB is going to be much differnt than a Hog etc etc. Have you ever tried breeding before?

You have a nice spread of snakes on your list of possibilites.. but it will all be in vain if your not understanding what they "need"

Well, the last thing I need right now is criticism, ok. Yes I know about the captive husbandry of boas, I just wanted YOUR opinion on what YOU thought was best, as of right now I am keeping a boa, I just wanted to no what you thought woule be the easiest to keep and breed. I don't want a snake that I have to change the substrate every other day, or bath them every day, well you know what I mean. I just wanted your OPINION, i'm worthy of keeping nice snakes ok. I have 5 in GREAT condition right now. Ok I take my things seriously. Any other replies would be great.

DUDE YOU NEED TO CHILL OUT
you asked he gave

iw as thinking the exact same thing, im of the opinion that you only see $$$$ signs .

now to answer the question you should get what you really want to work with. which snake do you really want ? which snake will give you the most satisfaction working with? why not start with the 5 you have now and start pairing them up?
