Welcome! If you have any questions concering the BRB make sure to ask, they can be difficult to keep if temperature and humidity are not percise. They are shy, nocturnal snakes, you will rarely see if housed correctly. Dont make your decision on looks alone.:)

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks for the info KD35WIN.AS.ONE (http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/members/kd35win-as-one.html). I have been researching them for over a month now and I own an Iguana so I know about keeping humidity and temps up. I know the needs are different for a snake but like I said I've been doing my research. I always do research on animals before I get them. I plan on buying a boaphile 322d to start the snake off in then eventually expand the enclosure with another boaphile. Have any of you ever heard of or had an experience with Twin Cities Reptiles in Minneapolis, MN? I know they sell BRB's there and was looking at some of the babies they have from this years clutch. They seem healthy but I'm not really to sure on how to totally tell if they are healthy. Anything in particular I should be looking for besides the obvious mites and wounds?

Yeah I've been researching them for over a month now. I know all about keeping humidity and temps up I have my iguana at 85% humidity with a 90 degree basking spot. I do admit I partly want one because of how cool they look. I'm up pretty late as it is since I work mainly nights it being nocturnal isn't a big deal. Does any here have any experience with Twin Cities Reptiles in Minneapolis, MN I know they have BRB and I was there checking this years clutch out. They look healthy as far as I can tell but I'm not really 100% sure how to tell if there are any big problems. What should
I look for to know that it is a healthy snake?
