Craigslist:Boa Constrictor & 50 gallon tank needs new home

[mccart238]

I am moving and will not have any room in my new home as to it is much smaller. He is about 2 2/2 feet long and should grow to be 5 ft. I have a 50 gallon tank he lives in now that will go with him, although it is cracked along the side. The crack won't affect his confinement. If interested please call 678-327-6379. A rehoming fee of $200.00 will apply.




WHAT????
First off....... it's a freakin ball python not a boa constrictor
Second....... what does 2 2/2 mean?
Third....... 200 dollars?! I mean come on I guess the '50' gallon with a HUGE crack is worth alot huh?!
Fourth....If you look at the third pic, it appears to be an overhead shot of the tank and the tank does not look like 50 gallons and what type of bedding is that? Looks like sticks and hay to me, poor thing.......
People like this tick me off! They dont even know what kind of snake it is! I basicaly replied w/ the same info above and a offer of 50 bucks for the snake only.....they can keep that tank. Ill get it a better one. We'll see what his/her reply is, hopefully I can get the poor thing and give it a life it deserves!
I also saw another post for a young 3ft Dumerils boa for sale w/ its 10 gallon tank w/ topper for 200 dollars. I think thats way too small for a 3ft growing snake. Made an offer on it too for 75 dollars for the snake only....people baffle me sometimes....

just another case of craigslist reptile sales. There is always something wrong with the snake.

i usually as a rule of thumb offer about $1 per gallon the tank is, especially since new a 55 gallon can be as low as $110. Never really thought about buying the animal though as im usually interested in th tank for fish.

A "boa" for $50 but a $200 rehoming fee is required? ha ha ha ha. That person should definitely be a used car salesman!!!!

BTW, you should call and ask if they would waive the rehoming fee if you just moved into their house with the "boa". LOL

I love craigslist. When I lived in michigan I had a guy post an 'adult female hypo boa' for sale - $200. Well, when I got there she was about as hypo as the owner was educated. The boa was about the plainest Jane boa I'd ever seen. I had to find a way to tell the guy that his boa wasnt hypo and still be nice. So I turned her down and showed him a pic of my harlequin hypo male. I think he got the point.

...hehe... craigslist.
