The Brazilian Rainbows

[Rapture]

These are the two BRB's I've been taking care of for the past half year or so. They are Laooda's and I agreed to try my hand at breeding them. I saw them lock up one time this season but I'm not quite sure if it was a successful breeding yet... at any rate, they are always a sight for sore eyes!

dont they give live birth?

[Rapture]

Thanks everyone! And yes, almost all boas are live-bearers. (I think there is one egg-laying species, but I could be wrong...)

Wow. What luminescence! Gorgeous! The one in the middle is to die for. Good luck and post pics of babies if it works out! Thanks for sharing.

I love Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boa

Erycinae subfamiliy
Compared to true boas, erycines are quite small, with most members remaining well under a meter in length. Fossil erycines have been found in rock strata over 50 million years old, and were once widespread in North America. Now, only two species remain in North America, as well as the sand boas in Africa, Asia and southeastern Europe.

At least three erycine species lay eggs: the Calabar Boa, (Calabaria reinhardtii) (once classified as a python for this reason); the Arabian Sand Boa, (Eryx jayakari); and the West African Sand Boa, (Eryx muelleri).

P.S. I've been thinking about adding BRB to my collection... those two kids look spectacular!
