Rainbow Boa Questions

I am going to get a brazilian rainbow boa in late July or August and I have a few questions about them.
*How fast do they grow?
*What size tank could I use for a baby?
*How long would it take for me to tame it?
Thanks

Re: Rainbow Boa Questions

The growth rate will depend on the overall health of the snake, how often you feed it, and the size of the prey fed. A baby could go with a 20 gallon tank but you would need 1 much larger eventually. As far as taming,,,,it depends on how often you handle it and sometimes that doesn't necessarily work. I had a cornsnake that I held every day for almost a year and he never stopped striking.

Re: Rainbow Boa Questions

i just got a Brazilian Rainbow Boa a few months ago, and she will strike once in a great while, i take her out once a week and am still weary of her and I think she senses it and I am ready for her to strike. Its discouraging at least, but don't wear gloves. I found out if I move them to my other hand it works better as appose to bringing my hand to them when im holding them. Good luck.
