Ha ha, just kidding. Never seen a gravid Rainbow fully invert like this. Seen all sorts of pythons do it (womas, jungles, balls, burms, retics, etc etc) but never a boa, let alone a Rainbow. Pretty damn cool.

A$$HOLE, scare me, the great Jeff Favelle loses a rainbow. BAD Jeff, bad bad Jeff lol. Now you owe me a baby to make up for the heart attack lol.

[Mike177]

hell, you scared me too. good prank though! :D

[Jeff_Favelle]

Ha ha, it wasn't the intent! But watch me jinx myself and have a Rainbow die on me. The world works in weird ways so I could fully see that happening!!

Now I'M the one that's scared. Great. LOL!!


Rainbows are cool. Wish we had an albino to work with. ;)

LOL -- you suck Jeff ;) Had me scared there! Hehe...

Glad to hear that all is well -- and that's one stunning looking gravid girl you've got there :)

And I do believe I recognized my little darling in amongst the pics of that last post ;) :D

[Jeff_Favelle]

Yep Jen. She's the middle one about to strike, ha ha! She was in the blue there a well.

This female is the one you want the male from. Trust me. Check out the male she mated with!!

I know Trev. I know.

:D

Jeff, you shouldn't joke about such.As you know I had a good group of Bill Lamar phase BRB's and produced hundreds of offspring...I had one die gravid! It happens! I sold all mine a few years back, and most of them have since expired in the hands of other keepers.
I once got a complete litter of still borns too.
Brazilians are NOT the hardiest snakes, and that's why they were $225 US for two decades(until recently)
Lots of them die, usually from dehydration.
It's rare to hear about keepers with 20 year old BRB's...although we do hear such about many other boids

[Jeff_Favelle]

Oh I know Roy, ha ha! And believe me, if there's anyone paranoid about jinxes, its me!! LOL!! I dread the day I get my first litter of stills/slugs or first clutch of infertile. Its such a let-down, I'm sure.

I do have a male BRB that's roughly 18-20 years old though. He's my best breeder!! But I do have a dark-red replacement for him growing up now. You can never be too careful.

But I still fall asleep dreaming of an amelanistic BRB. Sigh........

2-decade-old male BRB mating...

[unBOAlievable]

Not so funny joke,
But admit it, when you walk in the reptile room and find them like that your heart stops and you have to open the cage and tap them so they will move and you can breath again.

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

JEFF:

Damn you scared me as well. Its never a good thing to hear an boa or animal die as a hobby or pet. Been reading alot of your posts so I got kinda attached to read this post and "DAMN YOU"......lol.

Don' t jinx yourself now................hey you get albino rainbows put me on that list.

Cya...

[Jeff_Favelle]

Holy moly this was an old post!! I barely remember it, ha ha!

Thanks for the kind words! Female is doing great. Litter is expected sometime mid-July (2 weeks or so!!! ).

Can't wait.

Albinos................ dreaming...........
