One of the cheapest snakes you can buy but I can't get one any where!

Ain't that the truth! One of the very few reasons why living in the States would be worthwhile...

Thanks.

They are not easy to find in Europe. And more expensive than "overthere" but i just needed to get them.
And to have a boa that lives colder than normal is perfect.

It's also possible this is the longest lived boa with lifespans possibly exceeding 70 years (Hoyer)

That was probably my greatest herping find. An adult in the wild near Keromeous BC. Such a beauty and mild tempered snake. Illegal to keep here it being a native species.

I have looked for care sheets for rubber boas, but I can't find one that has anything on humidity, so what is the humidity requirements for a rubber boa (and heat as well) and if anyone has any good links to rubber boa care it would be greatly appreciated if you post it!

70 years... that's unreal, I had no idea! I've never read that before.

Very nice pic!

The color variation photo on that website is really cool! I didn't know they came in so many shades, and eye colors too.
