A lot of snakes have what is called "iridescence" (the shiny rainbow appearance similar to that found in oil slicks). Rainbow Boas have a very prominant iridescence, hence the name. It is probably just a nice looking Boa Constrictor. Lots of people call normal Boas red-tails, even if they aren't true red-tails. Rainbow Boas and Boa Constrictors CANNOT be crossed. I haven't heard of any Boids of different genus crossing, other than Some Morelia and Liasis species, and that I am sure is very difficult. ----- "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." - Bob Marley
