I am buying 1.1 Tarahumara boas from a guy that I met at a local show a few weeks back and he said that the male Tarahumara is a leopard het Albino and the female is het leopard and albino. He is asking for $700 for both and they are both yearlings as well. My question is, do these snakes have those morphs and if so is $700 a reasonable price.

PS. At work now will post pictures of the snake when I get off.

Thank you very much!

I work with Tarahumaras. I've seen Tarahumara/Sonoran and Tarahumara/Leopard available.

As far as I know there is no albino morph for this locality - though I would love to be wrong, because the orange/peach of a Tarahumara in an albino would make for an awesome looking critter.

Did the seller state the line of albino? If not you need to ask, because Kahl, Sharp, T+, etc. are all associated with the larger, non-dwarf BCI which means he's selling crosses. You would also need the albino line if you wanted to pair them with other albinos as the lines are not compatible.

Is your intent to eventually breed them? If you do bear in mind the offspring may be a tough sell, as people who work with locality boas want pure lines and not crosses, unless you're focusing solely on the pet owner market.
