Informations on our sales - policy

Frequently asked questions:

Do you ship boas to the U.S. or other countries worldwide? 

Of course. We are accustomed to the import- export procedure and do it only legally with CITES - permits.

For a shipment via aircraft the minimum value of the ordered animals needs to be US$ 6000 (overhead + shipping costs not included!). Otherwise it is not worth the hassle and the overhead for both parts.

What kind of boas do you sell? 

• our own captive-bred Boa constrictors
   

• siblings of animals that we purchase for ourselves (*)
   

• (*) Due to the better selection, we tend to acquire large numbers of boas
  from a litter whenever possible. At the point of purchase, we already pick
  the best specimen, and after a second selection we keep some of them for
  breeding purposes. The other ones will be sold. Our sources are breeding
  farms in South- and Central America, as well as breeders and importers here
  and in foreign countries, who have proven to breed boas that are true in
  subspecies AND locality.

   

  We take fully responsibility for EVERY boa that we sell

Why do our boas cost more than you are accustomed to elsewhere?

• Our Suriname redtail boas (for instance) are true Boa c. constrictor
  out of the distribution area Suriname and not crossbreeds with a red tail
  

• Our Boa c. imperator are not multicultural (for instance father from
  El Salvador and mother from Mexico). Our animals are true in
  subspecies AND locality
  

• We only sell absolutely healthy animals. If there are (in rare
  circumstances) any shortcomings, we inform the potential buyer unasked
  

• If any problems occur after the purchase, we are extremely obliging
  

•  We offer our customers a life-long consulting service. One can call
  us always and at (almost) any time if any problems or questions come up
  

• Our housing is very costly. We breed the prey animals for the boas
  ourselves. The rodents get only the best food and care. This is the base for
  healthy breeder boas and healthy and robust offspring. We also use special
  lighting in our cages (sun spectrum).
  

• Boa babies that we get from the above mentioned sources are often in
  a bad health condition. With much tender, love, and care, we make an effort
  to nurse them back to health, making sure that their health- and nutritional
  status is ideal when they leave our home
  (Unlike some we don't re-sell just imported wildcaught or farmbred boas immediately. These animals are spending several month in our facility. During their stay we rid them of parasites, nurse them back to health and take care that they put on weight. Our wildcaught and farmbred boas are equal to captive born ones when we sell them.)
  
  

• When an animal costs a good amount of money, it automatically filters
  out the type of clientele, that will keep a boa without any knowledge and
  cage in a shoe-cardbord box with the attitude: "If the boa dies, only 100
  bucks are lost". We are therefore quite certain, that everybody who gets a
  boa from us will take good care of it, as otherwise a lot of money will be lost.
  We are dedicated to our animals (even the ones we sell) and
  intend - as far as this is possible - to make sure that they get a
  good home again
   

• The boas on our "for sale page" are in the best imaginable state of health.  If one of our boas dies within 2 month after the purchase we obligingly grant a free-of-charge replacement.
   

... and last but not least: We have made a huge effort to get such a collection of 
rare and nice  Boa constrictor subspecies. Our animals are the best and nicest 
you can get near and far. The ones who now think that we are boasters, may
