Well, It sounds like I can not have my cake and eat it too...not that there aren't some beautiful central american boas out there, I just really liked the grey color as opposed to the beige. I had what must have been a imperator when I was in high school that was sold to me as a red tail. As it got older, it lost the brilliance in the red tail and turned more beige. It was a great snake and was very docile, but once it reached around 6 ft, my mom made me get rid of it for a smaller snake.

I am looking for another one now and adult size is important if I want to keep it long term (I now have a wife instead of a mom that I have to appease). If you have any reconmendations, I appreciate it.

One more thing, it can not be a rare snake, I am on a budget.

thanks again
