Tiger boas thoughts for steve

Steve,
I have a harding line tiger from 03, that i love. im hope to breed her to a hypo and maybe some albinos in the future. but I have be think about the tiger lines. Like some one said at lest one person has produced "tiger" boa from mexican to costa rican boas, I wounder if those prove out or not. I know i got my for less then 200 and then last year someone was selling them for 4 to 15 grand why the jump, mine look better (as far as missing saddles )then some of his 5g tigers. another person that i spoke with said that he spent 6 months try to sell his for around 1200 for a tri and when he did the guy sold them on the same site over night for 2200ea so go figure. I would real like my 200 dollar boa to be worth 5 grand but im realistic. how many of us can real drop 5grand on a snake? let know what you decide they are worth i would love to know, their are a great morph thats for sure and i think pastel colombines would real be a great way to clean up houndran tigers dark pattern. any thoughts?

I really think it's gonna be a matter of supply/demand/quality. I'll let everyone know how they turn out. I can't wait.

I think that is because, and also why the pricing on them is very variable, if that makes any sense. To make a long story short I would pay alot more for a proven Tiger line boa than a boa that looks like or might be a Tiger. However that begs the question what proof is there? I don't have much knowledge on this line or who orginally proved them out. Any info you guys have on them would be appreciated. Vinnie
