Happy Birthday to me.

tell your dad he is cool AF. i cant wait to watch the lil one grow!

I know they can get pretty good size. On average how quickly do they grow? Is it have a slow metabolisms like Red Tails? I have so much research to do. I usually like getting adding education before I get the animal. Will be up half the night reading things.

from my SUPER BRIEF readings on the species, they're slow grower boas, usually not reaching 4ft until 2yrs or so.

but im IGNORANT AF about them so take this with a pinch of salt.

Why did you change direction

I had been looking into bloods/STPs at the same time. I saw Juice was available at N.E.R.D. and knew which direction I had to go. Something in my gut just said go STP. So I did...

yes slow metabolism like other boas, they do not grow that large. Long slender snake with a small head, high humidity, slightly on the lower temps. Babies are more susceptible to failing to thrive due to temp/humidity issues.
Rainbows R Us has some good care sheets, even has one specific for neonates:

Rainbows will soak so give them a big enough water bowl to get into. A humid hide isn't a bad idea! They will use hides and also like to climb. Their sides change color, darker during the day and usually get bright white at night, very pretty snake. Mine was great and never was aggressive. Will usually take f/t without issue.

Happy Birthday and congrats on your brb!

Thank you for the guide and info. Woke up at 1 am and saw her sleeping perched up high. Will get some wooden dowels for her till her larger enclosure is ready. When I went to bed she was making tunnels in the substrate. Guess they love being up high? Her water dish takes up almost half the floor space. Humidity is at 85% ambient temp is 71 hot spot is 83. Will make some adjustments after getting more sleep.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. My actual birthday was Tuesday. Dad is amazing for sure.
