Baby Rainbow Boa Unboxing Vid

Very pretty little guy. Congrats. When I got my first snake shipped to me he was five hours later than when he was supposed to arrive. I was a nervous pile of goo by the time he finely made it. Again- Congrats!:D

Congrats, very nice rainbow

Wooo!! So he ate a small fuzzy for me a couple days ago, just snatched it up and pulled it into his hide haha And then today I handled him for the first time!!! :D I was really nervous but he was so much more calm.... a lot more like how the breeder described him to be. He was a little tense at first, but then started relaxing and exploring... no striking or hissing or anything, such a sweetie!! And already so strong too!! :O It is amazing how different they are from other snakes... he had a very firm hold of my pinky finger the whole time.

Anyway, I just wanted to share!! I really wanted some pictures, but of course I was already holding him when I went to pick up my camera, and the batteries were dead :rolleyes: So I will definitely get some pics next week!!

:banana:

Hey Erin, I'm glad he's doing well. It's amazing to watch Brazilian Rainbow Boas grow up. For the first year or two, their color continuously develops with each shed. You'll have to keep us updated with new pictures along the way :)

Thanks Paul! :) I can't wait to see how his color develops either. His dam is a High Orange, so it will be interesting to see how bright he ends up being.

Anyway, here are some pics finally!! He's had another meal with me and then I had him out today... I'm just loving his temperament... very calm and sweet. I've noticed that he's been staying in his cool side hide a lot though (unless he's been coming out very late at night and I never see him). Just wondering if that's normal? He seems very healthy otherwise, and he did look a little dull today when I took him out... so maybe he's shedding??

Anyway, here is Helix :D
