Subject: My snakes

Question
Hi. I have three snake. A ball python, an albino corn snake and a pueblo milk snake. I love them all very much and spend a lot of time with them. I am thinking about getting a couple more snakes. I want a rubber boa. I am from the pacific northwest. Though now I live in Michigan. I would love to have a native species from where I am from. The problem is I can not find one anywhere. Nor have I ever even seen one. My question is, is there any way you could tell me where to find one. And can you tell me a little bit about them. Have you ever heard of anyone having a rubber boa for a pet.

Answer
Hi Rick,
 Go to google.com and type in: sale rubber boa. Here is the first link I came across: http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=61&de=598902. Looks like they sell pretty cheap. I have never had a rubber boa and I know that they are not very popular in the pet trade. Here is a link to a pretty good care sheet for the rubber boa: http://www.rubberboas.com/Content/captivecare.html

Hope this helps!
