    I don't keep them, but I do know they don't normally require supplemental heat (room temps are usually fine) they stay small (they're sand boa relatives 1.5-2.5') they're usually quite tame too.

    Re: Rubber Boa!?!?

    $nake$ i have noticed you have been looking for a new snake lately and have been asking this same question over and over again "are they friendly" its a good question and generally the anser is yes for most species,of course exept for those like the blood pythons,Retics and other nippy species. Most snakes no matter what species tame down with a little handling, you should be fine with whatever you chose

    Re: Rubber Boa!?!?

    i own a rtb and just got rid of another rtb and i am saying yes these snakes can be very tame but correct handling is required these snakes are a little more needy compared to the normal ball python.if you would like the best information on carrying for these creatures i suggest maybe checking out some caresheets.
