Bought as Childrens, now suspect Spotted

I vote columbian based on the color and pattern, I think you scored on a breeders mistake other then the fact that your planned enclosure was for a childrens python. Check on the requirments for rainbows from as many sources as you can and enjoy.

I don't want to get into trouble with the mods over recommending another forum, but in this instance, hopefully they'll forgive me, as it's in the interest of helping someone out: the folks over on the kingsnake.com rainbow boa board are, by and large, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. If you have some questions about care that you can't find the answers for here, I'd suggest posting over there; several well-known rainbow breeders hang out there, and if you've got husbandry questions, they can set you straight.

I don't think anyone on here would ever criticize you for sharing good sources of information, especially for species that aren't the "focus" of this forum.

To the OP - I'd be curious what breeder/seller was at Hamburg that doesn't even know what species his/her snakes are?

Glad I wasn't the only nutcase who thought "wait, that kinda looks like a rainbow boa..." when I was scrolling through the pics.

Looks like a Columbian rainbow boa to me...doesn't look like a Brazilian.

Me too.

To the OP - I'd be curious what breeder/seller was at Hamburg that doesn't even know what species his/her snakes are?

And again, me too.

Its Columbian. I can not fathom how a breeder/seller could be selling something that they have no idea of what it is. They were not even close. I wonder who else left the show with misidentified animals.
