Thought there might be some on here interested to see my new snake....this is 'Fliptone', a columbian rainbow boa...you can see some of the iridescence in the pic whence she gets her name smile (if its a she...not sure about that)

Any more pics?

I've contemplated getting a larger snake, but I really wouldn't have anywhere to keep one alongside my current corn snake

Young one looking very much like a royal python. Was looking at a rather large rainbow a year ago it looked striking.

Looks like a Brazilian rainbow boa to me. Their Columbian cousins typically have lighter/duller colouring & markings. Whereas Brazilians are brighter.

Columbian:


Brazilian:


Not my snakes, just googled for images.

Either way, nice snake. I have a Corn and a Royal, have considered adding a Brazilian rainbow boa to the collection smile
