Last year my girl fell in love with a Rubber Boa at a reptile show...
We've recently been discussing a couple animals I'm interested in getting and she's gotten all googley-eyed over the idea of getting a Rubber Boa. Unfortunately I suck at telling her no so now I am on a quest to find one.
I've searched the typical places, kingsnake.com, fauna classifieds, many google searches... all resulting in nothing...
Repticon is coming to my town (Charlotte, NC) in October this year so if I don't find one before then I'll check there.
Does anyone know of a respectable source for Rubber Boas?
Now that I've seen how difficult they are to find, I'm quite interested in getting an unrelated pair to potentially breed. I'm not so interested in 'breeding for profit', but I'd love to help others get their hands on these hard to come by cute little snakes.
Lastly... I hear they are very abundant in the wild... and are very easy to find in quite a few places in the US. I do want to respect and follow laws in this regard, but if there is a way to legally collect one male and one female and ship them to me, I'd love to have that conversation with someone who could go find them

PS - when my girl and I discuss Rubber Boas this is what she looks like... :app but with longer hair
