A few BRB questions

[daniel1983]

How do BRBs handle rack life?

They do fine in racks as long as their requirements are met.

One place said that they may need special lighting (but this was only one location). If I can house them in a rack, how long will a 32 qt tub last? Is it like balls where the males can always stay in a 32 qt, and females will eventually need a 41? I know that BRBs average slightly larger than balls, so I was wondering if the 32 qt size would be large enough.

I have never heard of special lighting for BRBs. They are nocturnal. A 32 qt. tub will last 9-10 months or so dependant on the growth rate. 32 qt tubs are too small for any adult BRB in my opinion, but I am sure you could cram a small male into one of you want to.

Also, in the future I would like to breed them (something about live birth in a snake just fascinates me). Should I get 1 male for every female? Or can 1 male handle several girls?

One male can go with more than one female. Depends more on what you want to do then the snakes.

Also, I think that the Peruivian (sp?) Rainbow Boas are also beautiful, but I can't find nearly as much information about them. Are they just not preferred to the BRBs?

Just not as common.....ha ha....I think it is more about demand. More people like Brazilians...they are the prettiest
