Currently, I am only aware of 3 tangible Argentinian Rainbow Boas; 1) Jeff Clark's ad; 2) NatSamJosh/Ed's male on the forum; and 3) Underground Reptiles' ad. The frustrating thing about ARB's is there is not alot of photos that depicts their true, adult size. Another frustration is their lineage. How many unrelated animals make up the U.S. captive breeding population and does anyone other than Mr. Clark currently breed them?
It seems that Colombians are the only locale that I have encountered other than BRBs. It is a species I have been very curious about for a while, but they just do not appear to be widely available for contrast and comparison. I would like to get a general "feel" for ARBs before inquiring with a breeder and taking up unnecessary time from them if the species is not right for me. In regards to the term "right", I am referring to species I truly enjoy overall. Not monetarily. Not necessarily easy. After working with a spectrum of animals over the years, I have recently focused on a few species that have proven themselves fun to interact with and house; Liasis, Candoia, GTPs, ATBs, Erycines, and some odd colubrids. Sorry for all the hub-bub, let me get to the point of the post. I would like to request from the forum a few photos of an adult BRB alongside an adult ARB in the same tub (for size reference). Any feedback would be deeply appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Scott
