Erzulie (BRB) Thread!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my new girl Erzulie here, a 2018 female BRB from Hardin Herpetologica! I took this while checking her out, just before putting her in her new home (for now, an IRIS tub) to settle down. She was as feisty as you'd expect from a BRB her age. She seems to be settling in well, soaking in her water and burrowing all over the place. I hope to post updates here from time to time. :)

Always loved Brazilian Rainbow Boas ... crazy that the other types have a similar pattern but aren't nearly as colourful .. think I've seen fairly drab looking ones (in comparison) Columbian and Paraguayan Rainbow Boas .. there maybe more ?

How large do they get and are they a pretty chill snake when they're an adult?

Not sure on max length ... One of mine was about 4' but they were all sooooooo strong !!
Mine were all real chilled after the hatchling stage .

I believe they get up to 5-6' long. They are nippy as babies, but calm down with age, size, and regular handling. Mine is nippy and defensive. After she settles into a feeding routine, I'll start handling her. She struck at my hand once when I got her out of her shipping container, but it was a false strike, not a bite. :):)
