Comparing Columbians

[millertime89]

Good looking CRBs Todd, what makes you think Dusty will get lighter rather than darker? If I seem to recall Tagz was already getting darker so it would make sense that he would continue to, but with only limited (to this point) experience with Dusty what makes you say that?

LOL. I knew you'd pipe-up there, Cliff, lol. I haven't introduced him because it hasn't eaten for me yet, it still needs some work and I don't know if he's staying - he's 1 of 3 snakes that were dropped off to be found new homes, so once the thing is up to par I'll either keep him and introduce him, or I'll start scouting within my network for a new foster home for it. It'd be unfair to taunt you all with that Brazilian until then, but I *do* reserve the right to taunt if I decide to keep it

As much as I think the Colombians are a good-looking pair, I'm not 100% sure of their sexes and I don't think Dusty is staying even if it's the opposite sex to Tagz. This last group of take-ins kinda shows me that people are giving Rainbow boas away in this area - 3 of the 4 that are here came to me for nothing and the 1 that I did pay for (Tagz) cost me all of $12.50, so I seriously doubt that I'd want to produce a bunch of baby Rainbow boas even once. They simply aren't in demand in my area

Awww -- that makes me sad.

Maybe if you teach them to play hockey? ;-)

Jokes aside, you're a great keeper, and I'm sure will find your new arrivals great homes.

Ha! One hockey fan in the house is pull-ENTY, thank you VERY much, lol.

You can be sure they'll only go to keepers who have proven themselves

Both Colombians shed overnight. These are unrelated snakes and it's just a fluke that they're they're the same size and age, as Dusty was a recent drop-off.

Tagz is the darker, more patterned individual, Dusty is lighter w/reduced pattern.






Just Dusty

Beauties they are

They both look great, Todd! They seem to get along well...is the slither of little coils in your future? ;-)

Nope, not at all. Since there is such little interest in Rainbow boas in my area that people keep giving them to me (Dusty is the 3rd that's come to me and the one that I did buy for myself cost me a whopping $12.50), I've found a home for Dusty within my own little Network and he'll be going there before the two get into any funny business and end up producing a bunch of unwanted offspring. I'd love to keep Dusty around, but without any interest in the area, it just doesn't warrant the possibility of little ones and I don't know enough dedicated keepers outside my area to even think about it

I salute you being a responsible. Of course, the only real solution is to get more keepers interested in rainbows! ;-)

Oh thank goodness you came up with an alternate solution - I was afraid the only solution was for one of us to get 'fixed' and I was afraid it'd have to be me for some reason. I have so much luck that it runs backwards, so I could see that in my near future, but I'm glad I no longer have to do that

[millertime89]

Good on you making the responsible decision, Dusty is a very handsome crb and I'm sure he'll make his new owner very happy. I really like his reduced pattern.

Lol!!!!!!!
