Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It might be because alot of people are saving up for daytona, I know if you would have posted this a month and half ago I would have paid close to your original asking price.

This has nothing to do with people saving up fo daytona, its been goin on for months now. Back in April I had one of several litters of albino boas. Took them to a show and they were holding at $450 avg. I said someone offer me $200 ea. wholesale lots and turned it down. In June they were at the show for $225-275 and werent moving, In July they were at the show for $170, and 2 weeks ago a friend bought some for $80. How pathetic is that.
Harsh reality is the market is flooded with animals and shows, with new shows popping up every day, in an already horrible economy. This is affecting every aspect of the reptile trade. People with these animals are getting scared and are in need of cash to survive and are dropping their prices just to move animals.
I on the other hand, have decided to hold out. I figure at the current rate of depreciation on boas and balls, come the end of the year I will have albino boas and cornsnakes side by side ($25 each). Who would have ever thought

Yes, the market for BP's is in Bad Shape!
Honestly, the color seems to be way off in the pictures. You should try and get some better pics and update the thread.
You also just signed up on Fauna in Aug 09' and a lot of people are afraid to purchase animals from sellers that are not well known, and who have positive feedback on the BOI.
Best of luck with your sale.

1. Get better pictures
2. Set your price at market and leave it there
3. Stop looking so desperate nothing says "run away" as much as desperation.
They will sell fine. The market is slow this year -- during show season which is for the next month more people are looking to buy at the shows -- but it doesn't suck.
Good luck.

Byron,
Your new title seems to be inspiring discussion, and this really isn't the place for it.
If people want to continue this, please start a thread in the discussion forums.

It has more to do with low quality pictures than market conditions. I can't even tell for sure that it is a super by those pics.
And whoever said that they saw albino boas for under $100 is either a liar or a fool.
