    Brazilian Rainbow Boa?
    Best place to get one? Not a lot of places that sell them around here. Anybody know of a good breeder?

    Nevermind. I did some more research and found out they aren't the easiest snake for a beginner.

    OK, looked at the same site again and they said the Ball Python is "relatively difficult" when it comes to caring.

    If a BP is difficult (which i don't think it is) whats an easy one?

    If you want something easier than a ball python, I'd go with a corn snake or other moderately sized colubrid. But really...if a keeper is willing to be diligent in their care, ball pythons are very easy to care for. I dont know much about BRBs...but from what I understand, they have somewhat stricter husbandry requirements and are much less forgiving of mistakes, and that is what makes them more challenging to keep.

    The thing with brb's is that the humidity and the temps have to be pretty stable or the snake is a goner. Other than that, they aren't that bad. Too high of a temp is bad for them, and the humidity needs to stay pretty high (65-75). They are a bit nippy as babies, but not as bad as Bloods are. Nice snakes. They usually get pretty long ( maybe 6+ ft or so), but no where near as thich as a BP or a BCI. They stay pretty slender.
