Hey everyone! Just saying hi from Costa Rica!
Hello! as you may had read from the title of this post, I'm actually from Costa Rica. I've been a fishkeeper for a loong time, I also kept some Rieppeleon brevicaudatus before, ATM i'm keeping a baby Epicrates maurus, she is a costarrican Rainbow Boa, I got her from a snake-house near my house...
Here at Costa Rica snake keeping is HIGHLY forbidden if you don't have the proper paperwork, and you actually can't sell snakes at all, so this snake-house is the only place with the permission to sale snakes, and they actually sell a very good quality stock. My Epicrates maurus is actually an F1 breed from a wild caught snake... Here at my country you can find snakes almost everywhere, Boa constrictor imperator can be found in most long grass places or on rainforest... But well enough of talking about Costa Rica... I entered the forum looking for people who shared the same passion I have with herpethology. I'm an aviation student and DIE for rock... so that would be it for an introduction!
Here's a photo of my baby:

Thanks! This is actually my first boa! You can't find much exotic species here in my country so we don't have much to pick from... and taking reptiles from their natural environment if BIG PROBLEM here too... Even though, some people keep pythons and other snakes such as corns, but illegally...

Thanks! Costarrican Rainbows actually don't have the same colorful patterns as BRB, but they are VERY docile snakes, mine haven't bit me yet, not even tried! And they lose their patterns when bigger, so i'll end up with a full brown-bodied boa!

Re: Hey everyone! Just saying hi from Costa Rica!
my BRB has only struck at me with a closed mouth. Food is another story. Nero is pretty docile which is fantastic.

Thank you a lot! I actually noticed that the first time I entered the forum! Lot's of Epicrates keepers here! That is awesome! And her markings are awesome! Too bad she is going to lose them once she gets bigger

Some say that CRRB are one of the most docile RB, something I've noticed is that she is a very eager eater she just LOVES to eat! I have a video where I can show you this! and well you ask and therefore you receive!
Here's a pic of the vivarium, ATM she's on a glass vivarium, remember I live in the country where Epicrates are native, so actually there is no much need for me to struggle with climate factors... HUM is always high and a simple light bulb does it as for TEMP...
