Arrow REALLY excited about these new additions...*many pics*

These are the two new rainbows I picked up from Grant (Port Credit Pets) this weekend, and I'm just too excited about them

Venezuelan Rainbow Boa:
















Male Brazilian Rainbow Boa...I forgot how small and cute babies were!:












And his future mate, my female:








Phew! Thanks for looking, and special thanks to Matt for holding the Venezuelan for me and being bitten by the Brazilian for me

Wow, heather, your BRBs are so colourful! I dont think i ever noticed how cute the baby BRBs are!!! The pic of your female BRB is also excellent! I have a question, thought! What is the major difference between the guyana rainbow boa and the venezualian rainbow boa ( except the locality! )???

phil.

Thanks guys!

Kelvin, it was nice to FINALLY meet you too after Matt slacked off on the whole 'introducing us' thing

Phil, I've done a ton of searching on Venezuelan rainbows and haven't even come up with as much as a Latin name...a book I had said that they were a 'morph' of the Colombian rainbows, while Jeff Clark said in response to an email that calling them Venezuelan rainbows was probably as close as we could get, and it might even be an intergrade of the surrounding species...he also said there is an officially unidentified locality that will probably end up being called a Guyana Rainbow.

I wish there was more information on distinguishing between the different locales...

Well I don't know why people keep calling them Guyana Rainbow.
I have a pair that were cbb form wild caught rainbows right out of Venezuela.
A friend of mine got 6 pairs over a few years (mid 80s-eary 90s)
They all look the same and all the babies look the same. Intergrades usually have a mixed look or some babies look like one parent and the rest like the other or all three can happen.
All the Venezuelans I've seen and produced tell me that this is its own subspecies
As for the latian the only thing I've seen is from the June 98 Reptiles mag by Chris Mattison. He calls them E.c.crassus. The pic of the rainbow he has could be a sister to my pair. I know that there are other pic with other typs of rainbows with E.c.crassus labled on them but most are old, some pics are from the 70s and older so I don't tend to trust them.
They are one of the easyer boas to keep and still one of my favorite snakes to this day whatever they may be called!

Do you have pictures of your pair?

All I've read has said that E.c.crassus are Paraguayan rainbows...this is dumb, I really wish there was a better way to keep track of them all and determine the locales properly.

Does the one above look like the Venezuelans your friend has?
