OK, can anyone tell me what kind of snake this is? I am assuming it is a type of boa, but not sure. It is about 8 ft. long I believe. It is my roommate's snake. He owes me money for rent and utilities and has been gone since the 1st of Dec. and has yet to pay me even after i spoke with him several times at his work. It is to the point now where my student loan payment will be late, because he has not paid me, so I can't pay my own bills. So, I decided to take it upon myself to sell the snake for him, so I can get my money. Thanks in advance for your help. http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee2/midnightray/IMG_20101216_140653.jpg

I am not sure. I didn't try yet. I didn't want to sound like a total idiot when selling it, so I wanted to get as much info as possible. Plus, I don't want to get ripped off...not that it is my snake, but if I can get more money out of it, I sure will try.

How does it constrict its food? Around the neck (boa) or body (python)?

Not sure how it constricts its food. So, we are going with Buramese now?

Pythons and boas are hard to tell apart with the naked eye, and patterns vary within a species. If you brought it to an expert who might buy it, maybe he could identify it. Also keep in mind that profits vary greatly. The ballpark price for an 8-foot common commercial snake like that one is $40-$120. It might sell for less. Burmese pythons are one of the most common big constrictor pets in the US. I used to have one and don't see any reasons why that snake couldn't be a Burmese python.

How can you tell? The patterns. I was sure it was a reticulated, but then I googled it and the patterns don't match. He didn't catch the thing so obviously it came from a pet store and the Buramese is a popular choice. Does it have a redtail? If so then a red tailed boa is what you have there.

Ya, I think it is a red tail. Oh, and he volunteers at a zoo, so it came from a zoo, not sure if that makes it worth more money lol.

R U Sure it came from a zoo? Zoos are not usually the type to give free samples of their products to their employees.
