Buying a Rainbow Boa

Question
Hi, i recently had to put down my corn snake so I am looking for a new one, and a Rainbow Boa caught my eye. I would like to buy a baby and was wondering how much the cost would be.
Thanks

Answer
Jordan, depending on where you live, I would say you should be able to get into a Brazilian rainbow (probably the one which caught your eye) for $200 or less.  There are also other rainbows but most are not as colorful as the Brazilian.  Some are as little as $60.  If you want me to "shop" one for you send me your zip code so that I can figure shipping.  BTW they are somewhat more difficult to care for than your corn.  They are VERY picky about humidity and babies can be difficult feeders.
