How Do You Care For A Rainbow Boa?
Because of the iridescent sheen to their scales and their red and purple coloring, Brazilian Rainbow boas are considered some of the most beautiful snakes collected by reptile enthusiasts. Rainbow boas can eventually grow up to seven feet and live for 20 years if given the proper housing, diet, and care. Provide proper housing. While baby Rainbow boas can be kept in ventilated plastic shoe boxes with minimal substrate such as just paper towels, the bigger your snakes grow the more space they will need. Adults should have between 4 to 6 feet in floor space, and need several feet of height since Rainbow boas love to climb. Once they have been placed in their large enclosure, give them a substrate such as coconut bark that they can dig around in. For furniture and decoration include a water bowl large enough for them to soak in, as well as branches to climb up and a hide box where they can feel secure. Set up the proper environment. Rainbow boas need proper heat and humidity at all times.
