I don't understand why someone would say they're not for beginners, either. Burmese, Retics, Bloods - now those are not beginner snakes, but a Rainbow Boa is hardy, a decent mid-way point between small and large, easy to maintain, usually good eaters and really quite gentle once adapted to it's surroundings and keeper.
While you may take a love tap from time to time until the snake is settled-in and comfortable with you, they're not all nippy. While one could say that getting tagged is part of the territory with keeping snakes, proper handling and understanding your snakes actual needs usually solves that issue, just remember that anything with a mouth can bite.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Rainbow Boa as a first snake, if boids are what they're after. |
