    My First Boa!

    Well, I picked up my first boa a couple of weeks ago! I've wanted one of these ever since I realized something this pretty exists. She's a gorgeous baby Brazilian rainbow boa. I absolutely love her. (She's hanging out on my arm as I type this.)

    Thank you! I'm really enjoying having her around. She's so different than my ball pythons, it's a nice change. Not to mention she switched over to frozen thawed rodents right away.

    For a first you have a Beauty there!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
    Mack The Knife, 2013
    Lizzy, 2010
    Etta, 2013
    1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
    Esmarelda , 2014
    Sundance, 2012
    2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    Haha, thank you! I looked at every single rainbow at the expo and she was the prettiest, so I had to have her. I looked at red tails too, but I really wanted a rainbow.

    Thank you! I have her in a plastic tub with two hides and a large water dish with cypress mulch bedding. The humidity is at 90-100%, her hot spot is about 83 degrees and the front of her tub is generally 73-75 degrees.
