Hi people. I'm ToM and i'm in the market for my first ever snake .. and its gotta be just right. So far the Royal Python is my fav but i thought i'd beeter check out the rainbow boa incase i'm missing something good. Just one question so far .. is it a starter snake?
Thanx
ToM

I would agree with GP- they aren't really beginners snakes, but if you only plan to have one snake and that's the one you want, then research can help. Especially if you use the information you collect to get the set up perfect before you get one.
Humidity is the issue really, but do your research and understand how to keep the humidity high and you should be alright.
Also don't be scared to ask questions- that's what we are here for. Sharing good practise is how you become an experienced keeper anyway  |

don't let me put you off completely, I don't keep any rainbow boas I have a Dumerils which is completely different to care for. wait for some of the other keepers to get back to this thread |

heya and welcme on TRB too
Rainbow boas have more specific requirements eg. humidity, which are easy to get wrong which, in turn, lead to an unhappy snake and then unhappy owner. I personally would say rainbow boas are better suited to somebody with some previous experience rather than a novice keeper. |
