My First Boa!

Well, I picked up my first boa a couple of weeks ago! I've wanted one of these ever since I realized something this pretty exists. She's a gorgeous baby Brazilian rainbow boa. I absolutely love her. (She's hanging out on my arm as I type this.) :)

Looks great! Also on my endless want list haha

Nice little BRB, grats.

Nice! I just got my first BRB about a month ago and they're great!

Thank you! I'm really enjoying having her around. She's so different than my ball pythons, it's a nice change. Not to mention she switched over to frozen thawed rodents right away.

For a first you have a Beauty there!

Haha, thank you! I looked at every single rainbow at the expo and she was the prettiest, so I had to have her. I looked at red tails too, but I really wanted a rainbow. :)

Thank you! I have her in a plastic tub with two hides and a large water dish with cypress mulch bedding. The humidity is at 90-100%, her hot spot is about 83 degrees and the front of her tub is generally 73-75 degrees. :)

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).

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 .
