are the brb babies moving slow this year? I've been watching for 3 years and it seems this year is slow. It may be because of the "other boas" classification. I could be used to seeing more ads in general. Some of the adult/subadults seem to be pretty pricey. Even the babies have seem to have a larger variation in pricing. Any one else notice this?

Linda,
....You talking to me? LOL....yes I have noticed. There are a bunch of really pretty BRBs for sale on the classifieds. And not enough serious customers. I hate undercutting the other sellers on prices when they have such pretty animals to sell. Posting my "November Sale" ad was a mistake. I think people read the ad and think I am desperate to sell. Some of them that are for sale now are too pretty to part with. I have recently had lots of tire kickers asking if I will sell them cheaper than the advertised price. I have firm deals for half a dozen and I will not try to sell any more this year after these deals are done. It is no problem for me to hang onto the remaining babies. I actually like raising little BRBs just to watch them grow.

Funny you should mention your ad, Jeff.

I was asking my question about housing two together earlier because I saw your ad and fell in love with a couple of the little boys you have for sale. If I can get my funds in shape, I wanted to get myself a little christmas present.

I just have to get my head wrapped around getting them shipped to my door. It's mainly a scheduling thing - I want to make sure I have the day off for the event, you know?

I was just wondering in general, but I am surprised to see you have some left. I'm even more shocked that that #1 male is still posted...he would have been my first choice. I've considered sending you some more money several times. I want completely unrelated for breeding. I have actually bought alot this year and don't want to go over what I'm comfortable with. I mainly commented because I have noticied they weren't moving as quickly as I thought they would. I just want to be able to move mine reasonably well in a few more years.
