http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=2112654,2112654
Hello all,
I've got a WC rubber boa that doesn't seem interested in eating right now. I've had CB RB's in the past but since this one is WC I'm thinking about bruminating it for the winter. My area averages around 40L/55H in the coldest part of the winter so I'm considering putting it in the frid...
Rubber Boa Turning White

About a month and a half ago I received a rubber boa from a friend of mine. It hasn't eaten since I've had it, I offered it food last week, 3 pinkie mice but it just pushed them around, never seemed to take interest in eating. That's not the main concern, I have some ideas to try and stimulate a fee...
Any rubber boas available?

Hi, I am wondering if there were any CB rubber boas available from breeders on here. I am looking for a pair or even a lone specimen. I've been looking for a while with no success. Please contact me if you have any available. Cheers. moreliaviridis.tk@gmail.com

These are CB 2011 and have "shut down" feeding for the year. I thought I'd get a couple of pics of them before they go into Winter cooling.

I know of many records of rubber boas in those mountains at elevations below 7000ft. I am even knowledgeable of the flora in the habitat associated with those sightings. Ju...

Excessive Rubber Boa prices

I lurk here and have often been on Rubberboa.com. I enjoy Rubber Boas, but the prices I have recently seen on ads have been so excessive for such a small plain worm like looking animal.
I know prices are driven by demand and they are not commonly bred by those of us that like them and litters are...
Rubber Boas Breeding
http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=2008786,2008786
I have set up a breeding group of 3 females and 4 males. These are wild caught from Oregon.
When I caught a pair in the act today, the female quickly moved from the transparent moss hide to a more secluded spot, dragging the male behind her.

I mentioned in field notes forum about encountering 13 adult male Rubber Boas this afternoon. That is likely to be the most number of boas I have found in one day during the winter.
