Big BRB pic.

Here is a picture of a big BRB I pick up a few weeks ago.
I have not weighed him or measured him yet.
I would have to say he is around 6' long and about 9 to 10 lb.
He is tame and eats frozen thawed rats with no problem.

Take care
Tom

Wow Tom!
Is that the BRB Betsy originally got?
He is huge!
I was thinking it was a peruvian rainbow but aren't they
usually darker? He's a monster tho!

Hi April,

Yes that is the one Betsy had. She was told that he was a Brazilian Rainbow Boa when she got him. But I think he maybe a Peruvian Rainbow Boa. I have to do some more research on them to be sure. Betsy asked me to find a good home for him and not sell me to just anyone. I have a few people in mind but I have not found a home for him yet. However I am starting to like this guy.

Take care
Tom
