    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Top notch guy, and his cutting-edge animals are second-to-none. From communication before the sale, to the shipping and packaging, I highly recommend contacting him for Brazilian Rainbow Boas.

Bought a couple of BRB's from David back in 2008. Definitely one of the most helpful and knowledgeable out there. His communication is top notch, shipping is top notch, and has some really high quality animals! I would recommend him to anyone looking for BRB's or BCI!
 
I bought a DH Snow BCI from David back in 2009. He's a great guy to work with. Communication, payment, shipping dates ... all of that is super smooth with him. He will also answer any question you have regarding his animals.

The boa arrived in top notch packaging with signed paper work and in perfect condition.

He is certainly one of the good guys.
 
I bought a couple albino het aneries from Dave last fall.Excellent communication
from start to finish.
Healthy boa's and would not hesitate to buy from him again!
 
David Colling - Rainbows-R-Us

Just wanted to voice my praise for Dave at Rainbows-R-Us. I bought a 2010 BRB from him about a month ago. The snake (now named Lucius) was super healthy, communication with Dave was excellent, and he was very understanding with regards to working with my schedule to arrange a shipping date. He will be my go-to guy for any future BRB purchases.
 
I purchased a pair of het hypos from Dave, and everything was perfect!! The snakes were beautiful and he was able to work with me on a payment plan. Will do business with again!!
 
Dave Colling Review

I just purchased a BRB from Dave the proprietor of http://http://www.rainbows-r-us-reptiles.com. I cannot say enough about him. He tries hard to help you with the setup of the tank,always there to answer questions. Definite good guy. I will be purchasing solely from him from here on out. Two thumbs up with 5 stars.
Video of the unboxing if anyone is interested.

Purchased a 2012 Motley het Albino from Dave Colling a few weeks ago...Top notch Animal! Couldn't have asked for a better looking Motley, and he has a GREAT appetite, doubt this guy will ever skip a meal...

Dave was very nice to talk with, and provided me with all the information I needed for my new little guy! Shipping went great, and the packaging was perfect!

I felt he is really in it for the animals, and was a very honest guy! He made sure Motley would arrive safely, and that I was fully satisfied with our new baby....Thanks Dave! I hope to do business with you again!! :)

Thanks David!

Just bought a BRB from David this past week and doing business with him was a great experience. Excellent communication and is very helpful in answering any questions you may have. I live in the Northeastern US where I'm sure a lot of you already know, the weather wasn't exactly pleasant over the last few weeks. First, Hurricane Sandy and the following week was a nor'easter. He was patient enough to hold on to my baby until the weather cleared and warmed up enough to ship. Here are a few pictures of him and he is a feisty little guy! Must have bitten me about 10 times today! The pic of him in my hand was the day he arrived, the other two are from just after he ate his first meal this afternoon. Everyone, meet Arcus!

My husband and I purchased a BRB earlier this year from Dave. I have nothing but great things to say about him. Great guy, communication was great and he really cares about his animals.
 
David Colling was an absolute pleasure to work with. I've only been in the hobby for about 5 years now, but in all of that time I have never bought from or communicated with anyone more professional or genuinely concerned with the satisfaction of his customers.

Every single email was met with a fast response, the communication was always clear and informative.

He allowed me to pay for a group of his snakes on a payment plan at my own pace, and was extremely understanding when I had to readjust the terms of my plan because of losing my second job.

His snakes are absolutely STUNNING, with powerful genetics, and you can really tell that they are very well cared for in his possession.

I really can't say enough about him. Can't wait to see him offer a few candy stripe BRBs to the public for me to snatch up ;]
 
I just received my pair of unrelated Brazilian Rainbow Boas from David Colling at www.rainbows-r-us-reptiles.com. I am very happy with my pair. The whole transaction went smoothly. The snakes arrived in perfect condition and healthy looking. He also sent complete records for both snakes. I would not hesitate to buy from him again. I rate this breeder an A+.
 
I'll give another +1 for Dave Colling. I just bought a beautiful female BRB from him. Dave is really helpful and knowledgeable. I love the feeding records he sent with her. Extremely happy with our transaction! A+
 
I shall also cast my vote for a +1 for Dave. I got my litter girl (2012 Wendy-Rosco) last week and she ate fantastically yesterday. Perfectly healthy girl and the shipping was excellent.
