Brazilian
Rainbow boa’s (Epicrates cenchira) are one of the most recognizable and
sought after neotropical boa species. As the name would suggest they originate
from the humid tropical forests of Brazil and get the name “Rainbow Boa” from
the amazing iridescent sheen to their scales.
They
are much slenderer than most of the more commonly seen boa species and are more
arboreal in behaviour. In the wild they would spend time resting in elevated
hollows in trees as well as on the ground. They are also capable swimmers and
have been recorded in aquatic environments in the wild. When provided with a
large water bowl in captivity they may choose to spend some of their time sat
almost completely submerged in the water throughout the day.
In
the wild they would hunt mostly at night where they would prey on small mammals
and sleeping birds. In captivity once the young are established, they are good
feeders and will take both rodents and chicks with gusto.
There
is a notable size difference between males and females when adult, males
typically only grow to up to around 5 feet whereas a large female could
potentially reach nearly 7 feet although 6 feet is more common.
The young are sometimes a bit defensive when small but with regular handling they are placid and well-mannered adults popular with both novice and advanced keepers.
