Hehe since your seem to be the far most experienced BRB breeder around here, i gotta show you a pic of what my female almost look like, im sooo worried that shes not going to turn out lighter, shes VERY dark, and almost the same color all over her body, except for the cream white spots on the sides and the black outlines..

I would appriciate if you had a look at the picture ( this is not my snake its one from kingsnakes archives ) and tell me if they remain dark when older also, or if they do get alot lighter....

Sorry if im bothering you ..

Stefan,
. I always like looking at PICs of Rainbow Boas. I have produced a bunch of BRBs over the last 11 years, but there are others who post here who have loads of experience raising and breeding them. There are several people, including some who occasionally post or read here who have been breeding BRBs for as long as 20 years. We BRB breeders may not always agree on things but I highly regard the experience and accomplishments of all the other Rainbow Boa breeders. I think that BRB in the PIC is still young enough that it can grow and improve some in color. It looks to be perhaps 14 to 30 months old. It is probably not ever going to be a screaming brightly colored BRB though. It looks like the lighting for the PIC is partly responsible for it lacking color. The owner of the snake should be proud that it looks so healthy. If you cannot post or email PICs how about slow mailing a PIC of your BRB and I will post it here and we can get opinions from everyone about how yours will turn out.
