They are about the same price as a nice Motley het albino, but they are much more rare.

No love for the white snakes?
People trying to make a quick buck?
Unwanted genes?
Is it the people offering them?

I can't quite figure it out, I really like them.

$1,500 - $1,400 - seems cheap for the genes and rarity of the morph.

I cry when I see these prices.:mad:

Wow, nothing stays high priced forever!

i think the fact that they color up as they age didn't help them hold their number.
if they could keep that white on white with the white eyes that some juvies have...BAM !

that may have an effect. makes kind of sense. althugh rare, if the morph i has been around for people to know how the color changes as they get older it may have lowered the price to sell them quicker as juvies and babies.

but still makes you sad that some nice rare morphs are just dropping in price.
even with the whole supply and demand thing

They are pretty cheap for how nice looking and rare they are. I'd like one myself but money is more rare for me right now then finding them.

That is cheap for a snow, but given the climate it's expensive for a snake!

Just how the market works

Its to the point now a 3 month old snow is already piss yellow. The morph is no longer as it was , it has fallen in with pastel BPs as more were produced but the quality went down.

Well, don't boas also have much much bigger.... eh..... clutches? Is that the right terminology for a live birth reptile I really don't know :nono: :nono:.... That fact alone seems like it would decrease the market value even on a rarer morph, it's basic supply and demand. Yeah it sucks sometimes but that's the way the market goes. I just look at it as a chance for more people to own a beautiful animal.

Boas average 12 - 24 for first , in some cases consecutive litters. There are a few folks out there that have large , older females dropping 50 - 60 babies. One posted a snow litter on KS with over 20 snows.

I think the yellowing killed the quest for owning a snow in a lot of cases. The ones I've seen lately are yellowing at an earlier age so I doubt as many are being produced since its harder to move them.

I'll take any extra yellow snow boas you have laying around.... :lol:

Me too! I love banana boas! ;)

Given that it's a recessive trait and boas take 2-3 years to have their first litter, I don't really think this is the cause of it. I don't see a lot of snows on the market. I do see that with motleys though, being a co-dom. I'm hoping they will be about $500 within 2 years.

I think the yellowing in the snow has a lot to do with it myself.

Boas have great potential in the colour department and thus can be quite visually interesting; several of the boa morphs just don't cut the mustard regards epitomising that potential. Snow, "moonglow" etcera, given their drab, featureless off-white, fall short, in my opinion.
