Hey Stephanie,



Welcome to the forum. You know, there's no reason why a person's first snake can't be a rainbow boa. Talk to people, read up on them and get an eclosure prepared before you buy and you should be O.K. As stated, you'll find a lot of good care info here. In fact, I have a pretty good care page on my site if I do say so myself. It is based on over 15 years of experience keeping these fantastic snakes.



Columbians are nice and there's a certain someone on this forum who will be very happy that someone else is considering owning one (calm down Scott, she hasn't made her purchase yet). Just be forwarned that the adults look nothing like the babies. In Columbian rainbows, the bold pattern of the babies fades to a uniform brown coloration. Brazilians, on the other hand reatin bold colors and patterns throughout their lives.



Good luck with your research. Let us know what you decide and like Aubrey said, post pics when you got 'em.
