I recently bought a pastel columbian boa that is about a year old. When she is underneath lights, she reflects the full light spectrum like a prism. But I thought that only happened in rainbow boas. (She doesn't have it to the extent of a rainbow boa.) Has anyone else seen this?

That's normal, all boas have some degree of iridescence. BRB's just have the most by far
