I've been looking for some time for a Brazilian Rainbow and almost bought one at a show here, last fall (but thought too long and missed out). I was having our cottage stove serviced a couple of weeks ago (cleaning, etc) and showed the guys some bear tracks that my wife and I had seen on our mountain bike ride. I flipped past the pics and the next on my phone was of my Jungle Carpet. The young guy brought out his phone and showed me pics of his snakes, monitor, water dragon, gecko, iguana, and a bunch of other reptiles (had a frigging reptile zoo). But there were pictures of two Rainbows, a brother and sister - beautiful snakes. He said that he was interested in selling the male. We made a deal and I picked him up today (he shed last night and looks fantastic). He was not properly cared for by the guy that the seller had got him from - poorly fed, not handled and not taken care of. The seller handled the snake with a big, leather glove on his hand and his girlfriend didn't like to try to take him out. I didn't have any problems but I won't take any chances until he gets accustomed to me and his new surroundings. I did get him out of his carrying case (in the pic) and into his new enclosure with no issues. So excited and I think that I will stop at the four that I have as they keep me busy enough (and I'm retired!).
