Hello everyone
I'm Tawfik from Syria, I'm a member in TRP, I had one royal python "Blitz" for 2 years.
Now I'm planing in future to buy a rainbow boa.
Any comments/advices on keeping a Rainbow Boa will be appreciated.

Cheers.

Welcome to the forum, Tawfik! Brazilians are amazing pets! As Jenn said, there is lots of great material on these pages. But for prioritization, look at the temp and humidity threads first, as those are the most crucial factors in keeping a Brazilian. Let us know if you need help on any particular items!

Thank you all for your warm welcome
Is there any specific info I need to know before buying the BRB?
BRB is not available here in Syria right now, so i will have to buy it from other country or I have to wait until it will be available here.

As Snakesitter said in his welcome the temperature and humidity are a priority to get correct to ensure a healthy BRB, thus in my opinion it is important to get the enclosure set up and running prior to purchase to establish the correct conditions.
It is very important to have a thermostat to control the heat source, moss hides help with humidity along with a large water dish located partially over the heat source (if using a mat).
Thermometers (digital are best) and a hygrometer to measure temps (hot and cold ends to obtain a thermal gradient) and humidity.
I found lots of really useful information by searching through old posts and people are always happy to help by answering questions - you will earn lots of 'brownie' points for doing your research prior to obtaining your BRB
Hope you find a BRB, they are wonderful snakes

Good luck, Tawfik! You will find there is some work to do to bridge the different needs of balls and Brazilians, but you sound up to the task! Let us know if we can help.

And well said, Blackcat.
