F/S Brazillian Rainbow Boa & 60 gallon tank!
I've got everything you need. This is a 2 1/2 year old beautiful femail Brazillian Rainbow Boas, she is one of the most beautifull examples around, the father was a 50% het, so you may land a find. Also her siblings have been known to produce white eyed babies which is really rare. She hasn't breeded but would have some AWESOME offsprings for someone looking to make some good money.
I'm willing to sell EVERYTHING for 250$. You'd have a hard time finding a newborn at this price let alone an adult female, plus you get cage, light, waterbowls, extra soil.
just look at the iridescent in the snake!
She currently is eating 3 full grown mice every 5 days and she's an animal. She's a tame snake and has only bit me 2x's. However she hasn't been handled much in the last 6 months, hence why i'm getting rid of her, she would love to be handled. I'd prefer to give her to someone who would breed her as she's a prestine example. I waited a long time to purchase a BRB and the minute I saw her and her parents I was set on this one. And i'm real picky when it comes to my reptiles.
I'd really prefer So Cal pickup. Or will ship just the snake for 200$

Yeehaw
damn man, great looking snake.
I was thinking about picking up another snake but changed my mind recently...I'm going to get another savanah monitor instead.
Just wanted to say good luck selling her, thats a killer deal.

I'll try to get some better shots, the iridescent is alot more vibrant then it appears in that pic.
She's pretty close to full grown, I got her because they are one of the smaller boas, i've had big 10ft+ snakes in the past. She gets about 4.5' but is very very thin for the avg boa species

most def, and both times were my stupio fault, I came up from her at a real odd angle one time and she probably felt threatened. I then picked her up once after not feeding her for about 2 weeks.
It doesn't hurt though.

Yeah fortunately for us smaller constrictor owners the bites don't hurt that bad. I've only been biten once while placing the mouse in the tank...but I have been struck at and missed like 5 times. Believe me...my snake is very tamed as well. They only strike when they sense food...once they realize what they bit...they let go. Fangs are only like 3mm long...small pins.
Ohh...about the piebald...A couple of websites are under construction for piebald breeding but aren't offered for sale yet. And others have TRUE HET pieblads for anywhere from $1000-$3000 per snake. I dont care what it is cause I'm not gonna be breeding it so I wanted a cheaper one...if u know where I can get one.
Also...one time while my Ball was swallowing I noticed that she was swallowing the mouse backwards and wasn't stopping...which can cause serious damage to the internals...so I opened up the tank and tried to get her to spit it out and re-swallow. Anyways she got PISSED!!!!....she was striking like crazy at me when she spit out the mouse. Then she just sat there swirving her tail like a rattlessnake. That alone scared the shit outta me. But two days later I was handling her like normal

Dang man why are you selling her? I have a ton of differnt snaks and by far the B rainbow was my faveret snak. That pic does it no justice as far as the color. When you take them out into the sunlight it is amazing the look of it. And the price is killer...someone needs to jump on that! The wife is deathly afraid of snaks so no more for me. I can have anything but snaks...o well. Good luck in selling her bro. I know your looking for local but I will look around here...I could probably sell it.

I want to start a chameleon project and will no longer have the space for her. However, last night the girl and I sat down and started thinking that we may not be able to let her go so who knows.

yea, i'm thinking about a tree, i've got a buddy that breeds gorgeous ones. I also have been considering getting another blood as my next snake.
I currently have a veiled
and will either get a female to breed him or buy a pair of nose be's or diego's from a buddy of mine that breeds chams

Hopefully most will be mostly white. The genes his breeders came from produced a SOLID white one about 2 years back that sold for close to 100,000$

Yeah I would keep the rainbow man (you will want it back as soon as you sell it) and do the Cham's AND get another blood python. I have had a Borneo blood and my friend had a pair of Malaysian bloods...very nice looking snake!!

SHIFT_over.so.I.can.see
snakes freak me out... I don't know how you guys can keep them as pets. Once something has bit me once you'd better be sure I wouldn't be keeping it around.

ship it
I currently may have a local buyer though. I'll know by the end of this week. But if he doesn't take it I can ship it to you. What are the temps up there right now? Probably close to freezing huh? Don't know if this would be the right time of year to ship an animal.

Yeah dont ship it now....not unless you can get some heat packs that the breeders and wholeselers use. If you had that and shiped it priority it might work unless customs had to keep it for a few days.

that's the only way i'd send it. But even then they don't recommend sending it when it's like under 40
