    Even with minimal handling, most babies grow out of biting. Some babies don't even go through a nippy phase. I believe that babies bite primarily as a defense mechanism. In the wild, a 30 gram baby is just about at the bottom of the food chain. Their best chance at survival is to strike something and run away.

    In my experience, the majority of Brazilian Rainbow Boas end up with a very mellow temperament. As long as you have a properly set up cage, Brazilian Rainbow Boas are a beginner level snake. The humidity needs are easily met by using a large water bowl, using a moist hide box, and limiting ventilation. Additionally, BRBs have an excellent appetite, and rarely have the feeding issues you sometimes run into with Ball Pythons. Also, Brazilian Rainbow Boas have outstanding color. Here is a picture of one of my Male BRBs named Apollo.
