Ever have regrets selling a Boa?

Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone is having a great 2006, My wife and I have taken our passion to the next level and started "Executive Reptiles" and we hope to be able to provide fellow Herpetoculturists like you get High Quality Captive Bred Reptiles. Anyway enough with the cheezy intro....I was curious if anyone had any stories of favorite boas that they have sold and later regreted selling them...I know you guys have some...I know I have lots....LOL.
My big regret was this Hog Island Boa, Reverse Stripe....He was amazing in person, He now is currently in the hands of a good locality breeder so I am not worried...curious if the reverse striping is genetic...we will see...Thanks and can't wait to read all of your "regrets".....lol

No wonder you regret selling that one! I would too!
I have no regrets though...I just can't sell them! lol

Not a HUGE boa fan, but I don't think that I could have given up that one. Kick butt animal.

If your asking me....I have one...its still being worked on, but its slowly comming together...with all the gecko eggs, and mating boas...cages...feeding....I barely have time to tinker with the website....But its a start.
any feedback would be great...and I promise...even if you hate it and have complaints I will take them all into consideration. We are really small, and don't plan on having tons and tons of animals, if we succeed with one project, and want to start another one, we will have to pick and choose, we both agreed that if we stay small and only work with projects we really love, the animals will get the upmost care, and attention. Plus its just the two of us....Thanks and here is the link

But From My experience...The more reptiles, the less reptile one on one..that has to be like that...there isn't enough hours in the day... I recently purchased Bill and Kathy Loves "Reptilmania" DVD.....and that shows how efficency is key....Our Breeders are also our pets, my wife has given them names, They are not just Breeding Stock. Its very hard for us to sell any of our animals, but sometimes you have too. I don't mean that Large Breeders are neglectful, just saying, I don't think they personally go through and handle every animal everyday, and have CD's of baby pics on up to adult pics, and keep sheds of growing favorites, Some might.....We also don't do this full time either...this is still our Hobby, and what we look forward too is offering our captive bred reptiles to Other Herpetoculturists....I have been given great deals or what I call "Hooked Up" with reptiles from fellow keepers and breeders...and now I wish to do the same....Call it Karma..or just being nice....but Profit is not our motive....I want to offer other keepers the chance to own offspring that I had a hand in creating....
