I've seen them for $450 online, I'm sure you can find them cheaper than that though. Here's a generic care sheet I found. http://www.geocities.com/fireclawdea...e/boacare.html
Looks like you care for it just like a BCI. Hope this helps.

Ah yes, B. c. longicauda, aka Peruvian long-tailed boa, aka Peruvian black-tailed boa, aka Tumbes boa.

Price will depend on bloodline, as well as the time of year. Right now, longi's are few and far between, so the prices are going to be a bit higher. Early in the season, they can be had for as little as $250.

As juveniles, they can be a bit more "delicate" than BCI. In my experience, they need to be raised in a manner similar to BCC- with a little more care taken to prevent regurgitations.

Yes when is early in the season? I've heard baby boas usually come out in july or oct.

Is that what you mean?
