Hi,

Who on this board has, or have had a Brazilian Rainbow Boa? I am interested in finding out what your experiences were like with them, how big they are (pics welcome Very Happy

) and any other gerenal advice on them.

Also can anyone point me to a reputable breeder? What is the going price for both a male and a female?

Cheers,

Steve

Lee Warren has some available I believe but maybe worth placing an ad on the classifieds..they are lovely snakes and fairly easy to keep.

I have kept most of the species of Rainbow's

Brazil's
Argentine
Columbian ect.......

the max size for a female is 8 ft in length capable of eating Large rat's without any prob's.

keep the temp's at a max of 88 F and the humidity in the 90's most of the time and you will never have a problem.

babies can be a little snappy at first but that's a good thing, they just want to put on size. handled regular and with patience you will have a great snake.
