I love BRBs! They've been on my wishlist for forever, but something always comes up to stop me from getting one :-(. Yours look great. Some very cool pics. I've never seen a rainbow in shed before, it looks really trippy. Awesome name, btw. Only other person I've come across with a snake named Kitten :-).

Nice to see other Rainbow Boa owners here, Amber.
Your snakes are beautiful. They look so different as babies: such big eyes!
You're right about the eating -- I think they are better eaters than any other snake I've owned: my Talyn has never refused a meal and would easily over eat if I wasn't careful.
As far as slowing down with age.... hmmm. Don't count on it.

Especially at night lately Talyn has been re-arranging her hide-boxes, pops the lid off of her moss box, tunnels under her waterbowl and hangs from the ceiling lamps. I've only had her a year and I'm not sure if it has something to do with her getting into optimum breeding age or what... but she's suddenly become A LOT more active than before. (She's 5 years old now.)
Just make sure you have a good locking mechanism on your terrarium!

I look forward to seeing more pics of your babies.

Awww, your lovely pics are making me miss Smaug so much! I love BRBs. Excellent eaters and a good temperament (at least Smaug had a great one). Sheila's still a bit of a snappy little beastie. Smaug never nipped me at all. I should get a pair to breed at some point... *wistful sigh*

What does "trippy" mean???/

Yay, more comments! :P

I have a strange habit of calling my reptiles other animals, I'm not sure why...

I've been looking at other people's rainbows for a while, but I never thought I would own one, I was much more interested in pythons. But I couldn't ignore their beautiful rainbowness for long, and I am so happy I got them!

I love photographing them, such interesting little snakes, when I first go them they would grip onto me quite tight, now I wish they would grip more, as they just seem to glide through my hands, they have my full attention when they are out! I am thinking about breeding mine, but I'm not sure if I'd want to put the female through that, I have a while to decide though!

I keep thinking about getting a carpet python, but I hate getting bitten (which is why I got yearling BRBs) oh well, maybe some day! Sorry to hear about Smaug, my cornsnake used to like escaping, but she never went far, I found her in my bed once .

In this instance, 'weird but quite cool'.

They look great Amber.....
