Brazilian Rainbow Boa Care

[@ryanj7517]

It’s great to make them a spagnum Moss hide with it super moist. They love to burrow down in it and it is awesome for 1 piece sheds. I love Rainbows. I also have a 13 year old female Colombian Red Tailed Boa. She is so big she intimidates my friends. Lol

[@reptiliangarden]

Ryan Jerger Awww I bet she’s so sweet! That is an absolutely fantastic idea!!!! I’m definitely going to make Bowie a humid hide like that

[@ryanj7517]

Reptilian Garden I’ve got the Boas I’ve had for over a decade as well as 24 Ball Pythons of various morphs. The moist hide will help with maintaining that humidity. They burrow in the MOIST hide. Lol

[@guillermo218883]

Did you end up getting the BRB?

[@AtomixSpark]

if it was at a petsmart or petco don't, they stock brbs but advertise terrifyingly low stats for its humidity and way too high for its heat requirements. 80 cold side for a BRB is way way too hot

[@TheBeautifulTyranny]

Being under their water bowls must be a BRB thing, because if I can't find mine right away, she's almost always underneath her bowl.

[@lelamaryrose3614]

My ball python burrows under her water dish too! It’s great cause I always know where to find her🥺

[@madbioreptiles]

Wow I love This video ❤️ I have all this info written down I just got into Brazilian Rainbows and I am LOVING IT! they’re beautiful and although some people might not like the “amount” of care they require I enjoy the fact that it keeps me wanting to make sure everything is to the dot perfect 💪🏻🔥 Also Mine is in a pretty nice size tub while it’s smaller (2 months old) and as he gets a bit older I have an actual enclosure for him which I cant wait for him to go into. Once again love the video keep them coming 💪🏻🔥

[@antntyscreations]

[@RocketDaryl]

I love my "Herm the Worm" Brazilian Rainbow. You're right. He was quite the little pistol when I first got him (quite the nippy little dude), but he's really chill now. I got him in early January (he was about 6 months old). Now, I can just reach in and pick him up and he's very well relaxed. I guess they get used to your scent and realize you're not trying to eat them?

[@JP-of8uq]

Humidity Tip: PVC enclosure. Radiant heat panel. Mix your Forrest floor and eco earth 70/30 (70 Forrest floor) with a little bit of sphagnum moss crumpled in there. Large water bowl (if your humidty is dropping move the water bowl closer to heat panel. Mix water in with your eco earth when u put it in to keep humidity up. Also I think there's a coco substrate on Amazon called Josh's Frogs? Might be wrong, but that's a soaking wet coco substrate it's spectacular.

[@johnharris2683]

I have an overhead ceramic infrared heating element. my cage is a very large 6 by 2 by 2 . when I put heating pads underneath they always seem to break and it's too unreliable during the winter ? do you have any suggestions ????

[@horser55]

Thank you so much for this video!! You mention the humidity requirements change when they are adults - at 2 years old do you consider Bowie and adult? Just wondering when we kick into the “adult humidity” requirements vs still considering them a baby. Thank you for all you do!! 🙏

[@SADDLEBAGS6969]

How long can they go without the humidity if you are handeling them?

[@babydynos]

By the way your snake looks absolutely stunning for adulthood some of them dull out but I heard there's as many as eleven subspecies of BRB

[@Rileys-Reptiles]

Interesting to hear other people’s experiences and approaches. For example my adults never go off feed even during breeding or even when my female is gravid. They’re chow hounds in my experience. I also get away from weekly feeding once they’re eating prey items like small rats and up. With lower temps these guys don’t process food fast at all so weekly feeding rats resulted in obese rainbows. So my adults eat once every 3-4 weeks during the year unless prepping for breeding season. Your animal there is huge for 2 there I thought for sure you were going to say that animal was closer to four years old. Gotta love hungry rainbows who eat well. And yes babies are snappy little stinkers for the first month and are also the best eaters right after being born! Love how easy babies are to establish. Cool video. Way to promote the species. I love them and more people need to start keeping these Boas! I’m going to go enjoy my newest litter and oggle over the iridescence and colors. Bowie is gorgeous btw. You should find a nice male for him 😉

[@reptiliangarden]

Riley Jimison Thank you so much! I really do need to slow down on feeding her now. It’s not going to be weekly anymore. 😅

[@reptiliangarden]

And I’m planning to find her a male! I’d love to breed some rainbow boas 😍💕

[@scottheuser9576]

I keep my rainbow boas enclosure at 82 - 84 . And 67 to 75 on the cool side . She said that you shouldn't have overhead lighting, so how do I maintain my cool side temp during sleep hours? Also she said humidity should be at 80 to 90% but 99%, too. I have a baby and these are a few questions I have! If anyone could help me out with that I'd appreciate it. Great video just want to be sure because I see different info everywhere.

[@joshpeterson2203]

My kingsnake almost always goes under her water bowl and my rainbow boa mostly burrows in it’s humid box.

[@BXJAR1690]

Love rainbow boas looking to get one soon doing all my before hand research but my biggest question I’m left from this video. Who hates the word moist? 🧐🤔

[@Phoen1xFeathers]

**smacks lips** *m o i s t*

[@sambennett4676]

Heeey. Ive just rescued a rainbow boa and learning about them. Im a experienced snake keeper as i have 7 royal pythons. But i bought the boa because i noticed he was being neglected.. owner was forgetting to feed it for weeks and humidity was low and the snake was just ignored Now I've found that the snake is very moody .. if u touch him he bucks u off and hisses.... anything i can do to make him happier? Ive done all his vivarium properly. But he don't seem right?

[@MSUK9DVM]

I love mine. She was a little nippy the first few weeks after I bought her but she has settled down and is super sweet now. We use a Repti-Fogger and a Repti-Rain system on timers to keep the enclosure perma-damp.

[@enfxrn]

I’m only a beginner snake owner now, but when I’m more experienced and move out I’m gonna get one. They’re my dream snake 😍

[@DownstreamV]

I cant get mine to eat and he is a baby. Any suggestions. All the temps and humidity are fine. its been 2 months

[@taychristenbury1107]

I just brought home a new baby rainbow boa, and I’m just wondering how long you recommend leaving him in his enclosure before starting to handle him? I know everyone says leave them alone for a few days or a week. Any suggestions??

[@stevenam180sx]

Love the educational side of this with the visuals at the end, great video

[@miacox3335]

Just a few questions 1. What is the size difference between Males and females 2. I came across a 3 x 2 x 2ft vivarium, would this be big enough for either a male or a female

[@Icecreamcarpet]

This is probably a really stupid question but I was wondering how long should you leave heat pads on for these guys? I'm planning on getting one and humidity doesnt seem to be a problem but maintaining a good temperature might be

I love your care video I wish a lot more people uploaded like you and gave information about the animal this was extremely helpful because anybody can just buy a bin and put paper towels on it and get some hides and put a heating pad but thank you for talking about there gross and actually educating care videos need more education thumbs up all the way

I'd really admire that about you I am the same way. My brothers bugged me to make a channel 6 years ago but i was going thru stuff. I just but a waterfall some Eco balls coconut fiber Moss I'm going to make a nice little experiment for my rainbow boa is there any live plants that you would recommend

[@reptiliangarden]

babydynos Pothos are great! They will grow and spread throughout the enclosure and they can handle the humidity very well!! 🌿💕✨

[@preachanapoli3504]

So I have a hatchling that’s few months old but has a striking problem. What can I do to calm him down?

[@reptiliangarden]

Preacha Napoli As long as he is eating well, try to take him out and handle him as much as you can. He will learn that you aren’t a threat and will calm down eventually 💕

[@preachanapoli3504]

Reptilian Garden so If i wear gloves to pick him up will he strike after I pick him up? I actually just got him today from black water reptiles.com. I’ve had a brb before but never a striker like this. He literally struck me 4 times today alone. I still love him very much and am not afraid to be struck I just don’t want him to be afraid of me. I was told to wear a sock all day then when I come home to put the sock in his hiding place to associate me with security.

[@reptiliangarden]

Preacha Napoli You can try to put some clothes in the enclosure. The snake will strike as long as it doesn’t feel safe. It will take time. They are known to be feisty as babies but calm down fairly quickly. Just make sure you aren’t over stressing the snake so that it doesn’t eat. It shouldn’t be handled the first week you get it home. It needs time to adjust to its new home

[@preachanapoli3504]

I've been looking for something more intelligent/interesting than a ball python or a red tail, but not as huge as a Burmese Python. I think I'm settled on a Brazilian Rainbow boa.

[@VillianousKitty]

When you've a snake that's a big food lover and gets a little too excited about the prospect of being fed, it's best to feed them in a feeding rub. This way they only associate you opening the viv as you either lifting them out or doing some stuff round the enclosure. My corn was very bad for it, after I started doing this she's become so much more placid

Reptilian Garden I believe it's only about a month old. I have it in a terrarium with a mixture of eco earth and Cyprus mulch. It has a moist hide that it uses a lot. Temp on the warm side during the day is 84ish and cool side is mid 70's.

That is a gorgeous snake. But feeding s rat 1/week is too many and that’s probably why she skipped a few feeds on you. Since the temps aren’t high, they take longer to digest meals than other animals of similar size. Most pros recommend feeding every 2-3 weeks at that age and every 3 weeks as adults
