I know every time I see them, they’re breathtaking. Hopefully with more captive breeding their price will come down, before we die LOL 
That’s awesome, be sure to add pictures when you get her.

LOL, I’ve had her since the end of Feb. She’s socialized but also smart enough to tell people apart. I also made a mistake when I unboxed her. I didn’t wait for her to look around and come out of her bag on her own. I was intent on getting her into a soak and just pulled her out of the bag and put her into water. She hasn’t forgiven me yet. To make a long story longer, I’m not taking photos, she hates my camera, untill she is back to running out of her cage and up my arm…

Definitely interested in keeping larger python species such as reticulated pythons, mainly for their incredible coloration and patterns, although their size will be the factor that keeps me (currently) limited from that until I have the proper space available, as with most people I see interested in them. I’ve seen dwarf retics, I just don’t see the same intensity in colors or patterns as I do with the larger snakes, but perhaps that’s just my experience with them so far. And also, sometime I’m sure much further down the road after the appropriate facilities and permits are in order, I have an interest in keeping venomous, mostly snakes (Atheris hispida would be an entry interest) but not limited to simply snakes. Following that pipe dream would be Heloderma suspectum, and this is all said in the “That might be cool” sensibility, but… You never know, I guess. What if? I’ve also not ever really had much interest in boas, I just find there are more species of python that draw my interest based on my exposure, but Brazilian rainbow boas are an exception. I have to say it’s probably mostly due to limited exposure in person, because I’ve known about them a very long time and until I saw one in person several years ago, I was never really very impressed with the way they looked, from examples online mostly. That iridescent sheen was something I just never saw captured right before I set my own eyes on one, and it’s not like that’s exclusive to the rainbow boas, but with that combination of the iridescence and the way they already look, they easily have one of my favorite natural patterns in semi-large snakes.

I’ve got a long list of things I still want to get into. Black tailed rattlesnakes would really be something though.

A crested gecko (lily white), a whites tree frog, a monitor (male) uromastyx, Dragon snakes and that is probably about it, at least that I can think of right now. Maybe an eyelash pitviper too.

Reptile rapture occasionally has some.
On my list right now: Arabian Sand Boas, Javelin Sand Boas, New World Pythons. I’ve seen some New World Pythons for sale but they are almost all WC or lone males. I usually only buy WC animals if CBB are totally unavailable, as with the Arabian Sand Boas.
