You always see big burms,adult proven boa's but NEVER, let me reapeat that NEVER any C.B TAME or even wild MONSTER bloods for sale. We the members of this forum almost never post six foot adult bloods.Is the hobby so new that we haven't raised our collection past the six foot range yet? Just a question. Ash Lopez

Well in my case Ash, mine are just to fine to sell How do you get rid of something that has gone from crayons to perfume, all grown up and pretty? I bought two new adults this year from ads, but you really have to keep a sharp eye out for them. You really don't see a lot of adults, lets hope it's because most people keep them...j

Hey Ashley,
That's because Greenman, buys them all. He gets up at the crack of dawn to check the classifieds and has the ads pulled before any of us wake up. LOL!

The reality is probably the case that Greenman made, and that is that most adults are kept for future breeding projects and owners of such giants are not looking to unload their adults, but rather the off-springs of those giants instead.

However, I have managed to put my entire adult collection together from the use of the classifieds and have been pretty successful at it; so it's not impossible. You just almost have to be in the right place at the right time, so to speak.

Most people are holding on to them, and if they do sell them there is usually already someone waiting to buy. There was a real nice looking pair thats been posted by I think AHP exotics or something. There in Ga and I was meaning to go by and look at them but I dont really have the funds to get them anyways.. bah.

By that time you've raised them up, they've wiggled their way into your heart and by then they're just too hard to part with!

Don't guess that was the answer you were looking for, eh?
