Nismo89 · 08-21-11, 12:41 PM

Well I actually handled her for the first time today and got some decent pics although they are taken with a cell phone. She is still un named (any suggestions welcome) I am at a loss on names lol. Well here ya all go. Enjoy

And one more of my finger after she bit me. She got me when I was pulling her out. First snake bite ever! But just a little one.

Thanks! I wish I had an actual camera so I could capture her iridescence though. I was going to take her outside and get some natural light pics but right as I went to go out the clouds covered the sun and it started raining :/

Beautiful snake, BRB's are so pretty. Can't wait to see her as she gets older.

Baby Brazilians are famous for this. No worries, with regular handling, she will outgrow it.

She's looking good, by the way!!!

Sweet BRB and welcome to the Rainbow club and Bite club. Be careful they are additive.

Nismo89 · 08-22-11, 10:19 PM

Thanks everyone. And I already know I will be getting another probably at the expo I'm going to in October. She actually made my girlfriend like snakes because of how awesome she looks

She is gorgeous!!! I have two columbian rainbows and am sure before it's all done, I'll have a brazilian and an argentine, maybe even a peruvian, or marajo island, lol !!! They are so beautiful and addicting!

I would like to get another one... maybe some morph of brb.

Marketing spin aside, there are not many "true" (traditional) morphs out there for Brazilians. Hypos, aneries, and ghosts so far, with albinos on the way, and maybe calicos (still being proven). Everything else is really color or pattern variants. In short: be careful of any hype.

Thanks for the advice, so basically if a breeder is hyping up a so called morph and selling it more expensive than a normal it's probably not worth spending more than a normal?

Depends on what the "morph" has. Unless it's one of the few I listed above, I would ignore the marketing label and concentrate on the snake's color and pattern -- something atypical in either of those can certainly be worth more than the $150-200 average for a baby Brazilian. Good parents and/or a specialized breeder can also be worth extra, as parents influence adult look and specialized breeders provide more knowledgable support. If it helps, the max I've paid for a normal to date is $400, or double the high end of average.
