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.
The care of these snakes (BRBs) isnt demanding at all. i keep mine in a 55 gallon. a sub adult that eats small rats. he/she does fine. they tell you these snakes need it very humid but they don't.

you can keep it in a rubber maid bin with at least two holes on all sides of the bin and its top. and for the substrate you can use the wood looking stuff that Petco sells, I forgot the name of it. as long as you keep the water dish clean and take out the feces and stuff when you see it the snake will be just fine. once it reaches a good size move it to a tank. The tank I have my rainbow in now it never gets misted at all but it has a water dish big enough to soak in.

All you have to do is keep the substrate moist so just mist the enclosure and the substrate once and not again until you see it drying out. if I can keep a brazilian rainbow boa alive and i got it from Petco, I'm sure if you brought it one from a breeder and do it the same way I started out doing it yours would stay alive too lol.

I'm actually selling mine PM if you want more details.
