My lovely little Rainbow Boa (pics)

Thinking about picking one of these up. Are they as easy to handle as BP are? I don't have any experience with snakes that are hard to handle. Also was wondering how much color they loose when they get older as I have seen full grown ones that get fairly dull.

As Satana said, they do actually develop more vivid coloration as they age.

It sort of depends on the snake, but this gal is pretty darn easy. At the shop I was told she was feisty and nippy, but she's settled in and is an absolute dream to handle for me. Really pleasant, actually!

Compared to a BP, they're more active and curious. Once they settle down a little they're really easy to handle, and love to be out and about with you. They all seem to feed pretty well, and they have boatloads of personality.

I'd say just pick one on the younger side if you purchase, because then you can work the hatchling out of that natural defensiveness your own way... And that's the way he/she will expect to be handled.

I'm down for that! They would make some beautiful babies! Let's keep in touch.

Definitely! (:
