Need opinions on BRB

I bought this girl in 2000. I always figured she was just a dull and boring Brazilian rainbow. A few people have seen her and said she may be a cross with a Columbian rainbow. I have also had people tell me she was a Brazilian. I am going to sell her and don't want to mislabel her. Any opinions would be appreciated. She shed tonight and rubbed her nose, which sucks because she has been a pet for 6 years and doesn't have a scratch on her. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a Brazilian to me.

Looks Brazilian to me too. Doesn't mean I'm right though. (never had one before).

But from what I have seen, Colombians seem to loose there pattern or something. The adults I've seen looked a pretty solid color to me. Although, I did think Brazilians had more orange to their spots. ??


Hope that helps

I have E.c.maurus at home and as you can see she did not lose all the coloration.

I'd say, that you have a E.c.cenchria - Brazilian RB. If you compare the coloration (to E.c.maurus), you'll see the difference. Your snake is not so red as some specimen, but E.c.cenchria, if you ask me.

Thanks guys, I wanted to be sure before I put her up for sale. Thanks

i agree!

Thanks, I told everyone that looked at her in Columbus today that she wasn't fat she was just big boned.lol I received mixed opinions today at the show. About 50-50(cross or not). I think I'll play it safe and label her as I did today- 00 Fem. Rainbow Boa. Then I'll tape record the story that I told around 15 times today,(that she could or may be a cross) and let the buyer decide. She got allot of attention, but no buyers. 2 or 3 people said they would call or e-mail after Christmas. I guess we'll see. Thanks for the comments and opinions.

Hi Dennis... Yea, your girl is definitely a BrB.. they tend to wash out or get a more even tone across teh body rather than how they are when they are young. it isn't the rule, just how it seems to work out. Are you thinking about not going the BrB route or are you jsut looking to get different ones?

Hi Sean, I'm trying to get down to 20 snakes and the brb's aren't part of the 20.lol Thanks for the input. How's the hogg doing? Take it easy.
