Saturday morning around 2AM one of my Campina Grande Rainbows laid four slugs. 16 grams each. The other female seems to not be gravid this year.
Drat,

Sorry to hear that......definately one of the downers of breeding. At least the female is OK!!!

Frank,
....The Campina Grande Rainbow Boa, Epicrates cenchria asissi is one of the smaller subspecies. There are probably fewer than 20 of them in US collections. There were about 10 of them imported from a breeder in Uraguay by Amazon Reptiles in 1992. I have four of those animals and they produced two small litters last year. They are from the area of the Campina River in Brazil. This area is also called Caatinga and the subspecies is sometimes called the Caatinga Highlands Rainbow Boa. These snakes are less colorful than Brazilian Rainbows and are more slender than the more commonly seen subspecies. They are also more active and interect more with humans than the other subspecies of Rainbow Boas. My adults often come out of their cages onto my hands as soon as I open their cages. The subspecies is most like the Guyanan Rainbows in size and build but they are more lightly colored with nicer more pronounced markings.
