Housing

Neonates and sub-adults do very well housed in Rubbermaid containers or similar. Adults can be housed in 4x2x2 enclosures. Substrates that Brazilian Rainbow Boas do well on include sphagnum/peat moss, dampened Carefresh, damp newspaper, and cypress mulch. Substrates that should be avoided include gravel, bark, wood shavings (especially cedar and pine, these are toxic to reptiles), and shredded aspen. Neonates require a much higher humidity level than adults and can be housed successfully on wet newspaper or sphagnum/peat moss. With such high humidity comes mould, therefore attention must be kept to maintaining very clean cages. They should have free access to a large bowl of fresh water at all times (large enough to soak in). Unless they are on several inches of loose substrate that they can burrow in, they should also be provided with adequate hiding spots. Though not an absolute necessity, perches and shelves can be added to the enclosure.
