Hello all,

My brother and I are very interested in buying 2 Rainbow Boas one male and one female we reside in Toronto Canada.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me as they do not sell rainbow Boas in the pet stores here. Where I can buy 2 good baby rainbow Boas as well as if some one could give me a link to a website selling an ideal cage as well as accessories for the Rainbow Boa. As honestly I have no idea :) and have been looking for over a month now.

Thank You.

If you want to sell me a rainbow boa or an enclosure please contact me at sraza1987@gmail.com.

I think you'll find that most people on this forum are UK based, however, there must be some US breeders that can help you.

I would say your best bet is to look on the internet for classified ads for Rainbow Boas. You may get lucky, especially if you are willing to travel

I'm from Toronto and I picked up my BRB from breeders I found in classified Ads. Actually my last BRB was from a private breeder i accidentally stumbled upon.
Some pet stores do carry BRBs, you just have to call in and check, but I find that they are overpriced. The last BRB that sold from my store was about $300. I suppose in my case I was just lucky.

Feel free to message me if you have anymore questions.

Wow, I wish I had gotten my BRB from a breeder - I got mine for about $270, but I don't mind as it was a gift and she is well worth it :D

Wow - I just converted that into pounds and it's £165 quid!

That's quite a lot. We normally pay about £100 - £120 so that's about $170ish

I thought they would be cheaper over there because they have been captive breeding them for longer I think.

Ok i am new to this as well. My biggest question is that I have a brazilian rainbow boa and my cage is running humidity level of about 95-99%. I have a digital hygrometer on one side and a regular one on the other side. The digital one is always higher even if it is right next to the regular on.Is 95-98% too high for my 8 month year old boa. She is about 3 feet long. I have her in an aquarium with a fogger on a timer. Temp is around 75-81 degrees. Is my humidity too high for her? I forgot to mention that I have a waterfall on the other side that I only turn on when needed. Very much a newbie so please help. Any advise or suggestions would help

Around 90% is perfect, but they can handle high humidity at a young age - I'd try getting it down to about 80-90% when she's a bit older.

The dial ones aren't very accurate, so your digital one is the one you should trust
