Good looking BRB.

Like most females, she probably doesn't like pictures when her mouth is full. She is gorgeous!

Im thinking she was still just in feeding mode. You were just another big, BIG rat.

[SANDWiCH]

soo much for feeding mode....I went in her cage today and she was still all pissy.....she goes through phases of hate....I guess she is a female haha

I am going to try and handle her later to try and get her to calm down ....she is still only about 18 inches long so she is still small....gonna use the gloves today for sure.

I know nothing about rainbow boas, but doesn't she need time to digest? I'd give her a few days and then handle her.

I have Corns also and know that they have different morphs....Do BRBs? and if so ( I am assuming they do) what Morph would you call Pele?

[AndrewGeibel]

There are very few morphs in BRB's. Pele is a normal but to be honest I like the look of the normals more. I like the name too ... Very fitting for a rainbow boa.

I was just looking at a BRB care sheet and came across this... Idk how much of it is true ive only seen like one morph before but....


Morphs



"There are an increasing number of BRB morphs being discovered. Though many of them are still unproven, current BRB morphs include but not limited to:



Anerythristic - lack or red pigmentation, results in a brown or taupe with white crescents.

Hypomelanistic - reduction of melanin resulting in a snake with brown orange and yellow patterning and significantly lighter markings.

Bullseye - Side crescents where some degree of full circling occurs with dark center.

Eclipse - Side blotches (oceli) where there is little to no crescents.

Blush - Side oceli where the crescent color is speckled through the pattern.

Striped (dorsal) - striping down the back.

Striped (lateral) - merging of individual oceli to make lateral stripes on the sides.

Clown - large oversized oceli

Calico - white scales typically outlining the dorsal patterns

Albino - Lack of melanin (or lack of expressing melanin) resulting in a white
snake with orange markings. Very secretive and not available at this time."
