I think that is a large brb. I also think that (it's labeled as a brb)it could be the so-called Peruvian Rainbow or a Lamar phase. Either way it's an attractive Rainbow IMO.

Are the lamar phase BRB's usually larger? If so that would be great, thats about the size of snake I'm looking for! And what exactly is the lamar phase?

Thanks for the quick response!!

Wait to make any decisions until others reply. I could be wrong. Check out the classifieds on KS under other boas. Someone is claiming they originally came from Peru (the first exports-not their offspring) but, it is a subject left open to much debate. The Peruvian locality rainbows are considered to have larger scales which accounts for a lower mid-body scale count. Wait for Jeff's reply.

thanks again!!!

Is it kind of a gamble trying to find a rainbow that will look like that?

Brandon,
...That looks like a typical red-orange adult female BRB to me. The color is pretty good and the crescents are average. Most of my adult females are around that size and most of my adult males are a little smaller. It is a little hard to tell it's size for sure but I think it is around 6 feet long and it probably weighs around 6 pounds. Female BRBs typically reach that size in 3.5 to 5 years.

Thats the size both of my females got to but the guy I got them from was unsure of the locality so I'm not sure if they were brb or not
