    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....

Okay, blame it on Reptiles magazine - I found another type of boa I'd like to get into - the Malagasy Tree Boa. Scientific name: Boa manditra formerly Sanzinia madagascariensis. I'm in research mode right now to determine if A) I can even afford these & B) Husbandry/Breeding info.

So far, Ophidiophile Farms is the only company I've found on US soil that sells this particular species (very limited availability from my understanding anyway). I've done a search on the BOI, but didn't find any info one way or the other. Anyone dealt with them? Opinions? Comments?

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dianne
 
If your talking about the Bassets(Eugene)
you don't have to worry...
they are a little higher priced.
BUT, You get what you pay for.
 
David is a great guy - He stands behind his sales much longer than you would ever expect him to! But he's in Papua New Guinea right now ;-)
 
Doug Taylor in Seattle has a sexual pair of Mad Tree boas (Sanzinia) for sale on that "other" reptile related web site, right now, for $2,000 for the pair... Doug is a first rate guy, and his animals are well looked after... The babies he's selling were bred at his place.....

Thanks for the input guys! :D

I'm not ready to purchase just yet. I still need to research husbandry and general info on them a bit more before I make a move to purchase any (probably a pair when I do). Perhaps I'm a bit overcautious, but I generally try to completely research most new animals unless I know there is abundant information and resources on them. Not to mention, I need to save my pennies. :)

Thanks again!

I bought a Namibian House Snake from Daivid. It arrived very well packaged and is wondering around exploring his new home now. Everything went smooth and quick when dealing with him.
 
I have dealt with Dave Tracer on a number of occasion, and have never been anything but completely satisfied with our deals. I would highly reccomend him to anyone, hes definately a good guy.
 
I just completed a purchase from David Tracer that was fantastic. Good price, great animals, exceptional "customer service". Just thought I'd stick this on here since nobody has made any recent comments on him.
