Michiel,
. IMO you should know all about housing for them and have it all set up with the temperature and humidity tested and adjusted before you buy the snakes. Brazilian Rainbow Boas have very specific temperature and humidity requirements. Four foot (1.2 meters) long cages are ideal for adult BRBs.

If you use a substrate that holds moisture, and don't have too much air flow you may not need a volcano to add humidity. I think Jeff is offering some good advice, set it up first so you will know what you must do. It took almost 2 weeks for me to maintain stable humidity and temp. Good luck, enjoy.
