    Arrow Would you rather own a Brazilian Rainbow boa or a Red-tail boa?

    Which species do you find more interesting and unique? and why?
    Honestly, i love BRB's i find them such a unique species that not a lot of people own, in comparison to for instance a ball python or a corn snake. They're also one of the most beautiful snakes in the snake hobby, and in the world. IMO

    RTB, simply because of their impressive size.

    I loved my rtb when I had him. He was a fantastic snake. Well tempered, easy to handle, etc. Some days I really regret selling him.

    A brb has been on my list of "wish I could" snakes for a very long time though. They're simply gourgeous. However, their care is a bit more demanding than that of an rtb.

    These are very different snakes. Different looks, sizes, care requirements... It's a tough choice.

    I guess I would probably go with the brb if I had the opportunity.

    I don't have either but do babysit my son's BRB during the summer while he's traveling. I must say, she is a beautiful snake and mostly very friendly...she can be a little 'huffy' sometimes but it's mostly all show. If I were going to get a boa of any kind I would probably get a BRB, just so pretty to look at. She is a bit of a hider though, they are a tad shy.
