Description
The red rainbow boa is one of the most beautifully colored boas. They can get orange to an intense red color and under the right lighting a beautiful oil glow becomes visible. The terrarium is best decorated with a slightly moist substrate such as Humus or Coco Peat. A layer of dried leaves may be placed over this. This prevents the boa from lying continuously on moist ground. Place many horizontal branches in the terrarium so that there is room for climbing. Rainbow boas can be feisty, so keep this in mind.
