Default Columbian Rainbow Boas

Hi

Thanks for posting this caresheet. I have some questions about Columbian Rainbow Boas in particular, if anybody can help me.

They have been recommended to me over BRBs, for the following reasons.
  1. They are smaller. Is the size of 5-7 feet correct for CRBs, as well as for BRBs?
  2. They don't need as high a humidity? Is this correct? What is ideal?
  3. They are less aggressive, not that BRBs are really known for it either! Is this correct too?
Also, do they not need a basking spot in the 90s F, like BCIs and others etc?

Would be very grateful for any advice on CRBs, and the merits/drawbacks of them over BRBs, if any!

Many thanks

Daz

crb's were my first rainbows. i do think they are superior to brb's in all but color. but as far as the care sheet goes,it's nice. mine would say: plop them into a 10 gallon tank with a screen lid. put a bunch of leaves down as a sustrate and a few branches. a water bowl big enough for them to get into and changed daily is a must. a jar with a submersible aquarium heater set on 86f will heat and humidify the tank. feed well. cover the top during the day and ventelate at night. that's it.

Rainbow boas do not need high temps of 90, and over this temp can kill these boas, I wouldnt say CRB or BRB are agressive, 1%, if they have the right care.All rainbow boas need high humidity, but some people just give them moss, and water bowl of around 60-70%, but 90% is also good, better, so high humidity better! And size CRB average around 5ft, BRBs males 5ft+ females around 6-8ft MAX!

Thanks guys, this helps a lot. It's a bloody palava trying to work out what to get next. I keep changing my mind like the wind! But I am waiting till I get back from me hols in October, so have plenty of time.

Wish I could get them all, but not much space. So maybe will stick with just a couple more over time. Favs at the mo are CRB, BRB, Crawl Cay and IJ Carpets.

If I get a RB, I will definitely watch the temps (plus lots more research of course)!!! Thanks for helping prevent that catastrophy!
