Hi,
I am looking into getting a few BRB's probably around next August or September. I've kept balls before and I've been reading about them so I feel confident that I can handle the husbandry requirements. However, I do have a few questions. How do BRBs handle rack life? One place said that they may need special lighting (but this was only one location). If I can house them in a rack, how long will a 32 qt tub last? Is it like balls where the males can always stay in a 32 qt, and females will eventually need a 41? I know that BRBs average slightly larger than balls, so I was wondering if the 32 qt size would be large enough. Also, in the future I would like to breed them (something about live birth in a snake just fascinates me). Should I get 1 male for every female? Or can 1 male handle several girls?
Also, I think that the Peruivian (sp?) Rainbow Boas are also beautiful, but I can't find nearly as much information about them. Are they just not preferred to the BRBs?
Thanks in advance!
