Hey all. Someday in the not so distant future, I would like a rainbow boa. I researched ball pythons for 2 years before I got one, but since rainbow boas are less popular than BPs, there is less information about them. I figure I good place to start is right here.

So, all you rainbow boa keepers, could you just tell me about them? How do you do a rainbow boa set up, what to they need, how big do they get exactly, what is their temperament, etc. Also, what is the difference between Brazilian and Columbian species (or any other locality, these are just the two I have seen for sale).

Thanks guys! Just tell me what anyone considering adopting one of these gorgeous things needs to know. I am just in the research stage to make sure it is a species of snake I want based on more than just "so pretty!!" and that I can give it what it needs before I even BEGIN looking for available animals. I probably won't even be practical for another year or more, but there is a reptile show is October..... darn it. **Need*bigger*apartment**
