- Bedding: The bedding should be sand/shavings of wood
- Caging: The length of the snake is approximately 2 m so the length of the cage should be 300 cm and the height should be 43-45 cm.
- Feeding: Babies are large enough to eat hopper mice and pinky rats. One appropriately sized prey item per week is ideal for babies. Once your snake approaches full size, you should reduce the feeding to once every two weeks to avoid obesity. It is safest to feed your Brazilian Rainbow Boa fresh killed or frozen/thawed food. Never leave a live rodent unattended with your snake. Rainbow Boas are most active at night time, and this is the ideal time to feed them. I usually wiggle the food with tongs to stimulate the snake to strike and eat it. If the snake is hesitant to strike, but interested in the food I gently press it against the boa’s mouth until it takes hold. If this fails, I’ll leave the food in the cage overnight. If your Rainbow Boa refuses to eat, the first thing you should check is the temperature and humidity in the cage. Always avoid handling your snake for 24-48 hours after feeding.
- Watering: Always leave a bowl of water but not filled to the top.
