Re: Colombian good for a beginner?
Hi,
I think dominican red mountain boas are great snake for beginners. The snakes are very docile and they use musking as a defense mechanism and hardly will strike. They get 5-6' max, so its a good full size.
Columbians i used to work with too and they're also good snakes. I do think they're more aggressive than the DRMB's (dominican red mountain boas) and they have a potential chance getting rather large; i believe the avg is 6-8' but up to 10-12' (mostly females). I attached a photo from google.
I had my DRMB breeder female down at the SD reptile show last year, and one of the guys from PetKingdom came over and was handling her. She started acting strange, rubbing her nose up against his hand, opened her mouth twice and then closed her mouth. I mentioned that it was strange that she had never acted that way, and he mentioned he had just handled some rats. I never handle my snakes after feeding though. Its just nice to know even after handling rats, the DRMB female still wont strike.
Hope its some what helpful
