    Haha, thanks! She's even nicer in person. So shimmery. I think her rodent killing may be turning into rodent rekilling if she keeps eating frozen thawed rodents this easily (it's awesome having a snake that switched so fast, I had to argue with my ball pythons).

    They are one of the most beautiful looking snakes , for sure and their "evening" colours are spectacular !

    So nice to see them kept in high humidity as I've seen reports of so many keeping them in real low humidity setups but throwing in a most hide to ' keep them happy '. :(

    PS. The BRB's are amazing in glass vivs where you can appreciate their stunning looks better ...especially their evening colours when they are more active anyway .

    Edit --
    - please read "moist" as opposed to "most" :)
