Default Pet Shops

i know its what most people do but im not sure about my pet shop.

i've senn a baby boa that i've folen in ove with but i know it will bite me
all my other snakes i've got from a privet ad, they were cheap and nice to handle, the snakes at the shop are not nice and very costly, the baby i like is £132. is that too much to pay for one baby boa?

That's mainstream cost for a snake... i personally think you're best off getting a snake off this forum from someone you can trust, they will generally give you an indication on it's behaviour, feeding habits etc and many petshops just want the sale.

I suppose it depends on the type of boa. Sounds expensive if its just a normal BCI but if its a BCC then its a bit of a bargain

I think around the £100 mark is average for a nice boa from a breeder.
