this is my first post on the BOI, but I just wanted to say a few positive words about Brian Russo from Russo's Reptiles in Portland, Oregon (
www.russosreptiles.com).
i have ball pythons and green tree pythons, but recently started getting curious about red tail boas. i looked around a few forums and found a user who recently had received three great looking boas from Russo's Reptiles, so I sent an email with my parameters. Brian responded to every email i wrote almost immediately and patiently answered all of my inane "first-timer" questions regarding RTBs. a week or so later, he shipped me a normal 100% het coral albino male that arrived this morning (via FedEx) for an extremely reasonable price that included shipping. the snake arrived ornery as hell, but alert and in perfect health. he is also brighter than almost any normal i've seen, so i'm very pleased. great customer service, great animals. if i start investing in boas, Russo's will be the first place i look.
thanks,
