I'm not sure. I know that I love my BRB, "Diva". She is the apple of my eye! You can see a pic of her at www.urbanboas.com - we are still working on the site. Perhaps it's because BRB's are more iridecent (sp) and brightly colored than other boas? Perhaps it's because they have softer scales and are not as heavily bodied as other boas? I still don't understand why BRB's don't cost more and are not more sought-after. I guess some people are turned-off by the humidity requirements, but it's really not that hard to properly take care of a BRB. Actually, I find it much easier. I have found that (don't take it personally, anyone) men favor the 'bigger the better' boas and pythons. Women, on the other hand, probably don't want to deal with a 12ft snake. I do, but there always has to be someone else there when I move them. I don't want big Gertrude to decide I'm lunch (not that she would, but you never know) while I'm cleaning her cage. Just my thoughts . . .
