    Hi and greetings from the Carribean, Can anyone ID this snake?
    Hi to all,My name is Daryl and i always caught snakes and put them into aq's from time to time, even the coral snake. I recently caught a snake eating a bird in a cage( budgie) and i would like to know what it is. My thoughts were boa constrictor but someone told me it was an anaconda. can anyone tell what it is from these pics. Thanks guys and gals for your help.

    That looks to me like it's a Brazilian Rainbow Boa!

    That was my thought also. Someone told me that the wild type BRBs dont turn orange like the captive bred BRBs do.

    My vote goes to Brazillian or possibly a Guyanan rainbow.

    That is DEFINITELY not an anaconda. I second the Brazilian rainbow boa.

    Judging by the spotted sides, my limited knowledge of Epicrates says Colombian Rainbow Boa.

    I was wondering about the spotted sides, but I think it still looks like a BRB to me. Oh well, maybe someone who knows 100% can correct me if I'm wrong!

    Rainbow boa for sure but wether Brazilian or not, I don't know.

    Same here. I was just basically comparing photos. The OP didn't say where it was caught, so there may be no real way to tell...

    Ok Guys , It was caught in my country which is an island of of Venuzuela, Tinidad to be exact. I thought it to be a Rainbow boa but i was not sure. We are only 2miles off of venuzuela so you can say it a brazilian RB.

    Thanks for answering guys, i was worried that he or she would need to be in water if it was an anaconda. I just threw in a geco and its 10pm and he isnt too keen to gobble it down. i will get him a white mice on tuesday. bye for now

    The brown coloring on it makes me think Colombian Rainbow Boa....
