    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 All,

Due to some restructuring at my dayjob I am taking a very large pay cut. I need to sell a large amout of animals to stay on my feet. I have many varieties of animals and equipment for sale but I will list just the boas here. People taking caging, racks, dry goods, and picking up at my place will take priority.

Prices listed here are kinda misleading because they will depend heavily on how much is being bought, how they are being paid for, and how they are getting to you.

So feel free to make offers, the worst I can say is no thanks, although that be advised I will stick close to my price if all you want is a single animal.

Some animals are pictured on my website, most are not. It is at Bencolereptiles.moonfruit.com


07 animals
1.0 patternless hypo boa. This is a super odd animal. It is lacking 100% of the body pattern and the tail is reduced to a few jelly bean shaped red dots with a white outline. It was produced by a friend out of a hypo male to a normal female. The other hypos in the group are stunning but patterned.
10k firm

5.3 suri x colombian crosses-super pink even the dorsal grey and top of head are pink $200 ea

2.2 dumerils boas-females are super nice and orange with very light background brown $100 ea

1.0 cay calker boa small baby took in on trade at the last show-just getting on rat pinks. Super awesome temperment $150
1.0 hypo boa started baby on rat fuzzy took in on trade at the last show-nicer example of hypo but not a dominant hypo $150

0.1 Calico hogg cross. This is the only one I know of for sale. This was a partnership between Paul Mitchell and myself. We are also selling one female hypo calico. However, all other animals are held by paul for a long term project to make orange patternless boas with orange bellies. This little girl has already started to turn so I can now guarantee her as a calico.
$1000

1.2 Semi Patternless Guyana Boas. I produced this litter rather recently from my wild caught half patternless guyana male to a pastel guyana female. The litter consisted of 3 normal, 1 abberrant striped, 4 with 2-3 saddles missing, and 7 that had no back saddles and some missing side pattern. These are similar to silver backed bolivians but much more reduced. This trio is my personal holdbacks. As far as I know the rest of this litter has been dispersed to hobbyists and breeders so none are left on the market. 8k for the trio, 15k for the parents, or 19k for the parents and the trio.

2006 animals
0.7 argentine boas mix of my line and OS hi pink $200 ea
1.2 Derring Estate Boas, direct from Dennis Sargent. Already 2 are turning peach, orange, pink like the peruvian type leticia ancestors $1500 trio

0.1 north brazilian x colombian, orange tan with dark brown aberrant stripe

Adults
0.1 suriname-dark southern type $200
0.2 Jim Peters type axb crosses-giant pastel females $1000 pair
1.0 unproven full stripe jungle boa $2000

These animals are currently "off the table" as I am rolling up on breeding season with these guys, so I have decided to offer up some other boas and animals (balls and caging) to get the necessary funds raised.


I have other boas for sale at the moment but they are of colombian, or
brazilian decent.


thanks

Here are a pic of some of the ones in the group.

Now that these are a little older the pink is dulling out.

thanks

How big are they, what are they eating, will shipping take them straight to my house. Can you hold some for me, i only need $10 more, preferably the darkest, largest ones you have. I can almost guarantee you that i will buy one of your argentines, like 95% sure. How long do you think it will take for them to grow out of all the pink?

All the argentines I have left are 06's, and a couple of older male breeders. I cannot get any new pics currently as my camera is with Bestbuy getting repaired. I would be happy to show older pics of the parents to show how dark they have gotten.

The older male breeders are from 93-94 and are $250each-these have not been handled much and have a good sized attitude.

The 06's are all females and in the 30 inch range and feeding on small rats. The ones I have left are more or less in the $200 range individually and less if multiple are purchased.

I only ship delta dash, and it comes to your nearest airport that handles major carriers. The price for shipping would be $80 for a box and wouldn't change unless it went over 50lbs.

Previous customers have had reptile certified shipping account with Fedex and I have in past shipped on thier accounts to them. If you have an account then we can explore that option too.

Thanks

I just talked to my dad, and he said i can get an argentine, but it has to be bought in the local are no online buys.he said because you don't know what you'll get and there are no guarantees. He also said that there are people out there who will scam you, that," you don't know for a hill of beans." Sorry, but this decision was out of my hands, and if it were up to me, i would have sold my pastel an have sent you the money for her by now.
Deeply sorry,
Tyler
 
Tyler,
Ben is not going to rip you off. He has been around for a long time and I am sure he will continue to be around. I have had many transactions with Ben and I will do more in the future. So don't be afraid to buy from Ben.

It's not me thats afraid about being ripped off, it's my overprotective dad. I can't do anything about it, because he's the one with the paypal account/
 
We are in the middle of breeding season now, so any adult females sold with the exception of two are already possibly bred.


0.2 jim peters type axb pastel boas



These will be bred by the middle of the week as I am about to rotate the males again.

thanks
ben
