Guyana Rainbow Boa, anyone have one?

[homebrewed]

There isn't a whole lot of information on this subspecies of the brazilian rainbow boa.
I got mine a few weeks ago, and this is all I could find on them. They are generally 3.5-4' (more along the lines of 3.5 says jeff clark). They aren't a colorful as most. And have decent temperments (not mine... at least not yet)

Anyways just wondering if anyone has any experience with these guys.

Also here are some pics I took today

Guyana Rainbows are excellent little boas! I'm working with a small group as well, Very unique boas. :)

Are your's WC? I've heard that the majority are because no one breeds these little guys because they lack the color and size of the brazillians. I'm sure mines wc and has the temperment of the devil, but supposedly they take to captivity really well and mellow out.
Whats your experiences?

Yes my Guyanese Rainbows are originally wc. They are pretty feisty as well. The CBB animals are much better in attitude.

I've found that wc Guyanese Rainbows take to captivity very well. They can sometimes be stubborn feeders as imports but adjust quickly.

I wouldn't recommend purchasing these guys as wc's to anyone though. I obtained my group solely to be able to produce CBB Guyan Rainbows here in Canada. Very few people are breeding these boas. I'm only aware of a few in the US.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks. This one seems to be doing pretty good so far. I hope I can get her to calm down alittle.
