The thing with brb's is that the humidity and the temps have to be pretty stable or the snake is a goner. Other than that, they aren't that bad. Too high of a temp is bad for them, and the humidity needs to stay pretty high (65-75). They are a bit nippy as babies, but not as bad as Bloods are. Nice snakes. They usually get pretty long ( maybe 6+ ft or so), but no where near as thich as a BP or a BCI. They stay pretty slender.
