Aliester,
. Colombian Rainbow Boas, Epicrates cenchria maurus are more adaptable to different temperatures and humudity levels than Brazilian Rainbow Boas. They also, at least when they are adults, eat much less than Brazilian Rainboa Boas. I keep my Colombian Rainbows in cages with a temperature gradient from the low to mid 70s at the cool end and the low 80s at the warm end. I try to keep the cage humidity above 55%. They seem to be okay with temps anywhere from 65 to 90 and humidity below 40% at least for a few days. Colombian Rainbows can reach 6.5 feet in length but most adults nearly stop growing in length when they are around 5.5 feet. I keep mine on clean newspaper substrate.
Good luck,
Jeff
