defend the CRB's.

Nobody else seems to want to do it. LOL

Seriously, I do like CRB's, there just not my cup-o-tea!

BRB's on the other hand are my cup-o-tea and I will promote them whenever I can!!

O.o Apparently snake subspecies R Serios Bizness. I thought it was only with ball python morphs that everybody fought over who's better? *grins*

...as a good ball python morph.....because there isn't such thing as a cheap one!

Tell me about it! I like normal BPs as well as I like most of the morphs, and it's insane what the price difference is between them! Especially when some of them are really not that dramatic. I mean something like piebalds, sure that's impressive. But I actually have a hard time telling the difference between a normal and some of the other morphs.

I do adore leucistic snakes though. Something about the white and the dark eyes... But of course leucistic BPs are RIDICULOUSLY expensive! (Is there a leucistic rainbow boa? I imagine white doesn't show off the rainbow sheen terribly well.)

there is a leucistic columbian boa and also a licorice brazilian which looks like a lucy except it has brown speckles on the dorsal pattern in small patches more like speckling and looks friggin' cool. Ball pythons aren't my cup-o-tea either prolly cuz I can't tell the difference between the 1500 different so called morphs and 300 unproven morphs the ball market is falling faster than I am able to type too but some do look cool if I don't look at the head or the tail though

See, I think they're heads are cute and adorable! They have little fat chibi noses and from the front they're smiling! That's my favorite thing about balls, really. That and their small size is what appealed to me when I was considering getting one.

I'd never get snake that could get big enough to eat the cats, and I would really prefer one that doesn't get longer than I am tall. (I'm 5'3" Another vote for Columbians there, as I believe they're smaller than Brazilians. *grins*

and don't feed it as if you were going to breed it like people do females and it won't be that big and strong like a red-tail would be. I will try to take pics of a dark brown brb I got with irridescence and I like the brown ones the hell with everybody and that's my story and I'm sticking to it Nice chatting with you

i don't like ball pythons, i think they look bloated with funky heads

He is very pretty! That's a rather striking pattern, really.

I agree with that, just get a male and you will be just fine size wise.

....and was 3.5 feet last I measured. Since that measurement, he has shed like 3 more times so he might even be 4 feet now. CRBs average out at about 6 feet, as do BRBs, and if what I've read is true, an occassional speciman can reach 9 feet.

Scott,
...Colombian Rainbow Boas slow down in growth after they reach five feet. I had one that was right at 6 feet in length but have seen no others that size. I would not expect any Colombian Rainbow to exceed 7 feet in length. Most female Brazilian Rainbows slow down past six feet in length. The largest I have owned were over 7 feet long. There are a few reports of Brazilian, Peruvian and Isla Marajo Rainbow Boas larger than 8 feet long.

Don't go! I've actually been growing quite fond of Rocky and of CRBs in general! You're one of the only ones who posts pics of CRBs and I would miss that if you left.

I dig CRB's.

Of course, this one is my first one but they are cool snakes!

Tulsaherper

you can't leave cuz I would dearly miss all those Dr. Evil posts you type ever so often. If leaving is what you want then it was nice chatting with you but you will regret it so I will prolly type to you soon

YEAH!!! I love videogames but I haven't really played anything lately except a couple months back I got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and now my boy wants Transformers so I still get to play some but I prefer games like Grand Turismo, Tourist Trophy and anyother racing game prolly. The hell with all those bastards dogging CRB's Scott, we will start our own forum and maybe we will invite Dave and Frank over sometimes lol

Stop being such a WUSS!

You should be proud taking the road less traveled. It is more unique!

But dont cry about some people favoring CRB's over BRB's.

I feel your pain, i know what it's like to try to fit in and your posts get ignored, unless you are a well known name, you barely get noticed, thats why i barely post on here, seen one BRB seen them all, i don't even want to post my T's when they arrive today. Unless you prove you are a serious breeder and into all the terms etc it seem you get ignored in these forums.

I don't really agree.. and I am sorry you feel that way. I don't think it has anything to do with "having a name" - it is participating. Just jump in and become apart of it, making friends on forums is not much different then in real life - you can't sit in the corner and wait for it to happen - you need to jump in and become a part of the group. Everyone on the forums are important..

NOW - POST THOSE T's!!

I think that may be the case for the boa forum but certainly not in the rainbow forum. I mean figuring relatively not that many people are regulars as opposed to say the ball or boa forum-and someone says hi I'm new there will be way more responses on this forum as opposed to all the views and few responses on the boa forum but hey that's just my take on the matter. I'm a nobody let's face it but I have quite a few friends on this forum. The big breeders of rainbows are pretty much the sponsors of this forum and other than Dave who posts tooooo much there isn't any other big breeder that starts threads. But if you've seen one you've seen them all so when Dave post some pics up-just let the rest of us drool over them if you want (no disrespect intended)
Bob

p.s. Sorry I didn't respond to the Remembrance Wall post but I wanted too seriously

"other than Dave who posts tooooo much"

Dirty job, somebody's gotta do it!!!!

As of a few days ago had not shed yet, then probably a couple of weeks to get some meals down. With my schedule, probably will be early/mid August.

but you may be busy with a litter or two of BRB's squirming around so next month will be very exciting for you and early September you will taking tons of pics-that sounds like a lot of fun to me and I'm jealous but one day I will make some bci's and brb's (hopefully some nice ones too)
