    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi, just wanted to start by saying im fairly new to boas, and had a concern about one im thinking about buying. The guy is about 6 feet in length right now, doesnt seem to have any signs of burns or a bad shed, but his top lip has a slight overhang, it appears to be about 1 1/2 or 2 millimeters and i was wondering what would cause this, or if it is worth buying for $85
 
If he reached six feet it clearly does not affect him; and so it sounds like he would make a wonderful pet. I am sure, since you are new, that you are not immediately going to purchase many boas and start a breeding program, so it sounds like you have a nice pet quality boa there.
 
thanks for the reply, i ended up going to get him/her, not really sure yet along with another one my friend purchased at the same time. The other has a nice rosy color through the body and is a little over 3 feet right now, they both look great but im still going to get a local vet to take a look at the bigger one and make sure its nothing serious. ill post up some pictures of our pets when i get a chance
