No, Columbians are great and fairly easy to care for. I like Dumeril’s but I have seen some that have eating problems (kind of like Balls ). I like Brazilian Rainbows, beautiful, good personality, good eaters but they stay a little small for my taste.

You don’t have to get a common Columbian, they come in some very uncommon morphs, albinos, sunglows, anthracitic, salmon… Some are very expensive but when you think about it you are going to have it for 30+ years so save up!

Do your homework and then go to a reptile show and handle the ones you have studied. If you take your time, you won’t be sorry!
