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

[firehop]

I love rainbows but they all seem not to like me so much

[BeastMaster]

BRB all the way, I am beside myself waiting to get mine

Seriously, I think I am going insane (and broke ).

If it's a choice and you have the means to care for either one of them just as well
then i'd go with a boa constrictor.

Rainbows are pissy little brats

Red tail boa...
I got bitten too many times by one of my buddies rainbows!

Having kept both, my preference is BRB.

Having said that - I will add - it doesn't matter what anyone on this thread likes best, as you are the one buying it - so buy the one that interest you the most, not the winner of some forum vote.

Apparently I've got some exceptional BRB's, because neither of them have ever so much as struck at me.

I had 22 at one point - one was the spawn of satan... but was an adult when I got her and never been handled, the rest were just fine.

The babies are nippy, but you see that in a lot of species.

I am not sure why they have such a bad wrap for being mean, It was certainly not my experience.

Now - they do have a HUGE feeding response - so maybe much of the "nippy" quotes are simply keeper errors/feed response that is mis-diagnosed as mean/aggressive.

Thank you! That's exactly the kind of response I was hoping my reply would trigger from someone.

Ooh, that's a tough one! I love them both! BRBs are smaller and more manageable than RTBs, but they also need insane humidity levels. They're both gorgeous. In my opinion, BRBs are one of the most beautiful snakes in the world, definitely rivaled by RTB morphs. I have a *minor* obsession with sunglow RTBs. If I only had the money!

I own 2 red-tails so I'm going with RTB of course, I just prefer the thicker bodied snakes...
