Brazilian Rainbow Boas

[Chris Rossi]

Im thinking about getting a BRB and was wondering what size cages are good for adult BRBs. Also if anyone has any pics of their setups and of course their BRBs I would love to see them.

It really depends on the individual, but 4x2's are standard for adults.

I don't have any pictures of Marius' enclosure (been meaning to take some, but haven't gotten to it), but I do have some of him. Out of all of my snakes, he's probably my favorite. I am not sure about the size requirements on enclosures for adults, but look at some of the care sheets for BRBs and you'll get a good idea. Anyway, here are some pics of Marius.

the 4th pic there really brings out why they're called "rainbow" boas.
beautiful.

For the substrate Im using cypress mulch, is there any downside to that? I have the cage almost all set up just need to get some branches and another hide when I get him.

AAAAAnd of course the best thing about owning a Brazilian Rainbow Boa, the double rows top AND bottom of rear facing, razor sharp, hook like teeth that will tag you at least once....I went from a Albino "dont give a rats ass what you do to me" Corn Snake to a "I don't effing think so" BRB...but you get tagged a couple times and work through it with daily handleing sessions and hey..you now will own one of the most B-E-A-utiful snakes on the planet that will put $20,000 Ball Pythons to shame.

Oh p.s. as bad as the teeth sound its not as painful as you think...it helps that they are razor sharp and can retract.

retracted but still visible.

My previous post was edited by the administration because I mentioned that I was trading my BRB.....I apologize if this was received as some sort of "advertising of a sale" according to the administration. I will no longer post on Ball-Pythons.net until the administration apologizes for editing my post. Way to chase away another member that has only contributed positive information and in no way has ever told anyone that they are "wrong".

I support the freedom of speech and me stating that I love my BRB but I am looking to trade it does not reflect a violation of any rules and was a statement of fact. because of this warning I received from Ball-Pythons.net I have removed my post in the trade/sale/wanted section and will never conduct business of snakes throuch Ball-Pythons.net. I feel offended that Ball-Pythons.net thinks that this is a violation of the forum rules. Maybe they should actually have my post open next to the rules like I did and see the huge stretch they made to edit my post.

Sorry /General Boas.

Beautiful snake, Becca. And thanks for the info SANDWiCH, I didn't know that.

As for your last comment, anything that COULD go into a classifieds section should not be posted. The rules are clear, though I did not see what you posted.
