First Impressions on Colombian Rainbow Boas, Are They Good Pets?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2019
- Rainbow boas aren't a difficult species to find, but they are seen less frequently in the reptile trade. I recently acquired these two Colombian rainbow boas and have gotten to care for them for a month now, so I wanted to share my first impressions on these translucent pet reptiles. What are your thoughts on this midsize, slightly more difficult species of snake?

Tegu vid please
Hi! I actually own a Brazilian that I can not really take care of :( she’s very friendly but shy. Don’t know if you want her? She’s a year old
"I just want a brazillian, I don't want a columbian they're lame" Out of context quote of the day
@@jacquebutch5135 definitley lol

“The size is kinda average and underwhelming”
“They’re not too big and they’re not too small but I kinda want them small.”
The moment I realized I love the Colombian rainbow boas😍 *added to future animal wishlist!
Go herping snake review: “it’s a snake”
Aww yes this floor is made of floor
I wanna comment but it's at 420 and I don't wanna mess that up
Go herping snake promo: they are lame, brazilians are better
@@janeyjpg911 Actually replies count as comments so you still ruined it, shame on you even though I'm now ruining 450 comments😜
this was just 12 minutes of this guy dragging a snake lol
Lol true
Wasn't it great! lul
Still gonna get one, he can fight me
And I watched all of it😂
"there's people who've had experience with hundreds of snakes and I wouldn't trust them with these animals" it's ok you can say Brian
The Falling Dream oh the shade!
i don't know why but i thought you meant brian may at first
12 minutes of Alex saying how much he doesn’t want the species, saying they’re boring; amazing sells pitch 😂👏🏼
@@JustSomeguy83795 it's fine to correct as long as you're not being a dick about imo
@@mrsb1212 fair enough, I blame my swedish heritage😂😂
Aeron J at least you know you’re getting honesty
Sebastian Kral oh hi… I like Sweden it’s like 7.5% of me… oh god I feel like that asshole who finds out they’re like 0.01% Russian and then acts like Adidas is their religion. Greetings from California, I couldn’t be farther from you.
Some people like a boring animal as they're boring people
“To me the size is average and kind of underwhelming” I love taking Alex quotes out of context
After reading your comment I literally just heard him saying “I want them to be too big - okey?” 😂 Felt like it was a bit out of context because I was reading instead of listening 😂
Another good one is “they shoot them out and then you got babies”
🤣🤣"I'm not liable for your children"🤣🤣
Ricky G lmao
Pay me money and they're yours! - 10/10 best sales pitch ever lol! ; )
Lmao it worked on me. I just bought one!
@@RoboPuffinFilms Ha ha! That's nice
You: They're not big enough and they're a bland color.
My 15 inch pet brownsnake: Hey!
alex be like "size matters uwu"
Your use of reverse psychology convinced me. I am now in love with this species and want one (no sarcasm)! :D
My first snake was and is a Colombian rainbow. I will say they are kinda underwhelming compared to the Brazilian ones. But they do have a special place in my heart for sure.
I'm planning on getting a Brazilian or bci as my first snake, boas are some of the only snakes that I see myself owning
@@ARPat2000 I have had pythons and colubrids, but boas are my favorites. I have had a lot of different ones, but never an actual boa constrictor which is funny.
@@Cavegeckosol lmao maybe one day then 😂
Brasil como sempre
more sensitive than other snakes? i agree
i tell my ratsnake he is to agressive towards me and is like meh, but when i tell my columbian Rainbow boa that he looks a bit more dull than usual it gets all offended
Twisted I had a weird dream last night that my dad found several baby mice and put them in the cage with my two male mice and when I ran upstairs to separate all of them there was a small corn snake in the cage, except it had the coloring of the rainbow boas.
NeverDoubtThePowerOfAlliteration Ily ummmmmm what
I have a colombian rainbow boa (Iris). She is such a sweetheart and I love her prehistoric looking face!! So wild looking yet so chill.
No way I have a Colombian rainbow boa named Iris to
"They just shoot 'em out, and you've got babies!"

Framed avocado and a “YEET” sign. Two of the many reasons I watch this channel.
I’ve never owned a snake or desired to have one- I’m not sure why I even watch this channel- but for whatever reason your overwhelming apathy towards these snakes made me want one.
The humidity is much higher for babies and I've seen several pet tubers had their young rainbow boas pass away so maybe getting an older one would be easier to care for.
I have a Brazilian. Shes super sweet, super strong, super huge, super beautiful, a fantastic eater and fantastic to handle. I love her.
I recently just got my first snake, and it’s a Brazilian rainbow boa. Assuming the care is about the same, and it sounds like it is, it’s pretty easy to care for. The humidity is something to watch for but you just have to make sure you have the gauges and pay attention. I would love to have a Colombian rainbow boa, and the price is AMAZING.
My first snake was a BRB too. ✌️ And I’m sitting here smug as hell because I have one and Alex doesn’t lol.
Cool species! Brazilian Rainbow Boas would definitely be a bit more interesting to look at although Columbians are still brilliant.
Tbh, these snakes seem like a better fit for me than all the others I've been lookin into. They may have a harder care requirement, but I live somewhere super humid anyway. Il be doing some research. This species might just end up being my first snake
I'd rather get an animal from you that going to craigslist myself because then I know for sure that it's not a scam and the animal is healthy. I also know you'll be upfront with what the animals persobality is like too. When you think of it like that then your business makes a lot of sense. You take those risks so other people don't have to.
I think he also vets the buyers, too. So not only does he rescue animals and rehabilitate them (essentially fostering for profit), but when he finds the animals new homes he stops the cycle of irresponsible or unprepared petcare from being perpetuated.
Title should have been "Me talking sh*t about colombian rainbow boas for 12 minutes straight" 😂😂😂
I own a hatchling Brazilian Rainbow Boa named Skittles, he’s about 2 feet long and I’ve owned him for a week. I got to buy him before he was even put on sale because I work at the pet store he was sold at. Best purchase I made in a very long time
I am brazilian and rainbow boas are the most easy snake to buy here. the size and color are deine by the state, the bigger and red/orange one is the amazon rainbow boa. the one I want is the "jiboia arco iris do cerrado" is smaller and rare but considerade a good pet
How much is the rainbow?
@@boldestcrackaddictme8896 2.800 reais what is about 700 dolars
@@brendaaraujo9231 oh hecks naw. Thank you for the info:)
@@boldestcrackaddictme8896 this is the prize on Brazil here snakes aren't popular, is a new pet mercad I think usa or other countrys they are cheaper
In America they're like 1.4k
Reverse psychology as a marketing strategy?
_COOL_
“Yeet” i can see you’ll be having fun with that sign ahahhahaha
I’ve never owned a snake before, but I’ve always wanted one. My coworker is moving to Hawaii and can’t bring his Colombian Rainbow Boa with him, so I offered to adopt her. This video is part of my research and I appreciate your input.
"Believe it or not, they're not venomous" this hits close to home, when I say I have snakes, everyone fears they're venomous xD
Even when I was little my first assumption upon seeing snakes was never "it's venomous"
In fact, I never had any thought when seeing them lol
I just thought "Wow! Snake!"
If only everyone had the wow snake thought process. Just trust that the owner knows what they're doing, venomous or not.
Wait why am I just getting this notification?!? There’s comments from a day ago oof

I just got my notification today :/
Ahh awesome. We've been considering these Vs ball pythons as our first snake.
"You can kinda cuddle it a bit *sigh and rests head on animal*" Sold.
This would be an awesome breeding pair for emerald scales along with the carpet pythons.
unfortunately they already sold the male lol
Alex is gonna make a video in a year or so talking about how he ended up getting a per rainbow boa
Am I the only one who thinks these snakes are absolutely gorgeous? Their little faces are so cute! Makes me want them both.
Someone make a channel dedicated to clipping random things Alex says and make out of context compilation videos. I demand it.
Hey helping I’ve been watching your videos probably since you first started and I gotta say you definitely matured into someone renowned in the reptile care industry, keep up the good work my friend
Alex, don't be mean to the noodles!
Aww Alex! ;) Way to say all that right to their faces.
I think their colour is lovely, the markings are almost dainty. ❤️
I think they look really cool, especially their behaviour. They are active enough to be interesting, and their love of climbing means they like to climb all over your arms and neck which I would find really cool. And big enough to be impressive to a beginner, yet small enough to be safe and easy to handle. And though I usually prefer the look of snakes with a stronger pattern, this grey-brown colour makes them look very natural, which is nice.
B roll shots on point, highly interesting and entertaining
They are BEAUTIFUL! Ihavent got any snakes and wont be able to get any for a while due to phobias in the family... would love to get one of these after getting some experience in snake care
I don't have any interest in owning snakes, but these two look like sweethearts! I don't doubt they're gonna go to [a] lovely home[s.]
Omg the grey blue is gorgeous. Pics after it has shed must be amazing!
they're a little plain... but that's someone's ideal pet I'm sure! they looked super sweet to me. :-)
"I'm not liable for your children."
😂😂😂😂
They are so beautiful in my opinion. Love their patterns and unique heads
Hey Alex love the vid educational and entertaining been watching Since before you got shadow love you man❤️
My notification was late! Great video. Interesting and informative. I love that they’re part arboreal. That would be a huge draw for me, the way they twist and use their muscles to really reach out... I find that so fascinating. Thanks!
All the early people have memberships
my dad just recent got one of these little kiddos and I love them so much!
These would be perfect for a beautiful bioactive tank. It could be tall for them to climb and have a water feature to give extra humidity. AND the snake isn’t overly flashy so it doesn’t take away from the overall setup.
your totoro plush is adorable~ the new set looks pretty cozy ngl.
I think the gray snake is sooo cool!when have you ever seen a gray snake besides a bull snake in the wild. Im digging the earthy tones!
That’s funny I saw that ad in Craigslist I live in Greensboro
I loved my columbian rainbow boa! She was awesome! Definitely want another in the future, she was amazing to look at in sunlight after a shed!
I'm brazilian and we actually have 3 or 4 species of brazilian rainbow boas. The colorful famous ones are amazon rainbows, each biome has their own coloration, size and temper. We actually have a licenced breeder for boas in the country that breeds all of them.
I need a snapping turtle first impressions
We NEeD it
I’m brazilian, and in here the most bred species is the rainbow boa, they are great animals, and really really beautiful. Specially the brazilian one.
Love this channel!
😯😯😯 why am I just now learning about these?! I love them 😫
I wonder what his zodiac is? He’s so funny to me 😂
I think they look quite pretty, and I like semi arboreal medium sized snakes. Thanks for showing these guys I’m probably gonna do some research on them. Maybe get one in a few years
I love my CRB! Definitely took me awhile to get the humidity levels right, but I believe Colombians have a slightly higher range of heat/humidity tolerance than Brazilians, so they’re a bit easier to take care of. This was my first snake and she’s never bitten or struck at me & has always been extremely docile and curious. I think her plain coloration really makes the rainbows pop 🌈
I have a Brazilian rainbow boa, and he is a very good boy. His colors seem to get better after every shed
They’re still beautiful even in shed.
Hannah Chalk I could argue they’re more beautiful in shed
Illyanna Turtle I wouldn’t disagree lol
I love these snakes! Perfect manageable size, relatively docile and friendly, feed well... Colombian Boas are great!
I loooove those snakes omg. ♡ the subtle coloration is really pretty to me. I get why you arent absolutely jazzed for them tho
“and they are super strong, like you saw that one was restricting my literal breathing”
omg
Cant wait for my brb to grow up. Apparently theyre supposed to get a bit bigger than crbs too. You wont regret getting one, theyre absolutely stunning.
"I'm not liable for your children." That one got me XD
Love your scarf.
Gotta admit, I liked mainly for the vividly displayed Y E E T
Well done, sir
Cool! I handle Brazilian rainbow boas at work, and they're gorgeous!
"I'm not liable for your children."
You should have shown the nighttime color changes they go through! their spots become lighter color which i think is pretty cool
I get a kick from the fact Rainbow boas are semi arboreal. My Brazilian rainbow boa used to enjoy climbing a good bit. Would find her climbing on her fake plants. Once found her on her plastic hide which is a model of a tree. Eventually, she decided she was no longer going to climb and instead dig in her dirt. So, I ended up pulling out the decor she used to climb on and gave her more floor space. Also, on the humidity thing at least for the Brazilian rainbow boa's. they are VERY sensitive to low humidity. I've literally took her out when she was fairly young and she started to show signs of dehydration in just a short time of her being outside, and we are talking a matter of minutes. like i'd be surprised if it was greater then 5.
on that note one day when i was looking for her i ended up breaking down the entire cage and couldn't find her. She had hidden in her little tree hide and blended in with it so well that i had placed her literally on top of her enclosure while i was looking for her X D.
They are beautiful. I would buy/adopt one from you if I could, but I don't have the space right now :/ Love the vids!
Fun fact when I was first getting into snakes Brian Bytchass was my go to. The video that made me realize hmm he’s awful was the one with the rainbow clickbait. I now know the error of my ways.
Go herping and Snake discovery the way to go 😔👊
Actually a perfect time for this to have been uploaded. I am really torn between getting another Columbian Red-Tail and a Rainbow. Done TONS of research, and I just can't decide.
Will take this video into consideration.
"They are more sensitive than other animals" That is such a mood
I do like the colors/pattern of the Brazilian rainbow boa better, but I am really impressed with how handleable these 2 individual snakes are, especially considering one is in shed!
Boas are my favorite snakes..... great eaters, friendly and beautiful!
Will you do a video talking about chameleons? I think that would be awesome! Also would you ever get a chameleon
Panic! at the all time Fall øut piløts been wondering this too
Russel Muldowney I have one so I’m always curious to see what the hero community thinks of them
Owning chameleons are fun. People always make them sound crazy hard to take care of. 😂
Brandon Foss I know it’s so weird! He’s my first reptile and he’s not that hard, the only thing that can be a little difficult is the humidity. Definitely an expensive pet though
Love this species. I have a few😊
I have a blue eyed leucistic columbian rainbow boa named Lucy. Shes 5 years old. So far for me shes been a pretty good snake! She has her times where she wants to be left alone but I've never been bit or striked at! If anything versus my hypo red tail boa she just requires more humidity
I’ve always been a fan of rainbow and rubber boas. But then again my first snake was a brown and white king snake.
I dunno, I actually really like the colour of them, the right enclosure decor and I think they’d look lovely! I’m not a fan of orangey-red colours, we only have a corn snake (anery motley) right now but we will be adding two more snakes next year. This is definitely a species I will be looking at!
I absolutely love my Brazilian Rainbow Boa, but I agree I wish she got bigger
Could you talk more about that aboreal/ taller enclosure space sometime?
I like fully black or dark brown snakes. They seem so beautiful to me
I do enjoy that from a distance i can see a ring pattern on these snakes as well. The iridescence doesn't show up very well on screen but i can imagine it from having seen a few irl
I can never buy from emerald scales cuz no shipping to europe but I'm sure ill find a good european breeder once I'm ready
“Here’s your snakes! Well I guess.. my - my snakes.. here’s the snakes!” Lol amazing
I've never actually seen a Columbian Rainbow, but honestly I think these are even more beautiful than the Brazilian. Obviously the flashy reds and iridescence is gorgeous, but I love those warm smooth browns too. I'd love to pick up one of these darlings, but I only have a 30 gal tank sitting around, and I've been told no more snakes 😂
"they just shoot em' out and you got babys" IM DIEING
Can't wait to see what the big snake you've got is....
I love this snake 🤩🤩🤩
My rainbows are one of my favorites. They are pretty much a dwarf anaconda!!
