You know one thing that really bothers me about that site is the classification of boas into
Beginner
Intermediate
and
Advanced
That is kind of crapshoot to say the least but the real issue is they list rainbows as a "beginner" boa. Sorry but WTF, this is the kind of crap that ends up with some new herper comming here with a rainbow boa on deaths door because it has been kept at 40% humidity! I am going to drop them a note about this, they may not care but who knows.

This is what I sent to the president of that company,
"Ken,I notice your site lists rainbow’s as beginner boas. I find this to be a mistake to say the least. The care requirements of rainbows are quite advanced with humidity requirements, temps, etc. It is your business and you can do what you like but I just think you are setting yourself up for problems down the road. While they do not get as big as red tails etc. they actually require a lot more attention and care then some of their bigger brothers.
Just hoping to help,
Jack Spirko"
Who knows may be it will save a rainbow boa from death from misguided kindness,

Good luck, you may have to resort to lizard scenting for good feeding.
