    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....

Wanted Looking to buy a Rubber Boa

Hi,

I'm interested in purchasing a Rubber Boa. I would prefer a baby male rubber boa, but I'm open to both a male and female, and adults. Please send me a pm if you've got a rubber boa you would like to sell me!

I live in Ann Arbor, MI. I don't have a preference for shipping vs. pick-up, but if you live in the SE Michigan area I would be happy to drive and pick-up the snake directly from you.

Also, for those of you who are curious, I'm planning on getting a 10 gallon tank with a secured lid, an under-the-tank heating pad, reptile sand (Fluker's Natural Reptile Sand), some logs, a water dish, and a hiding spot (basically a big upside down cup with a hole).

I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions / comments on the tank size / substrate. Let me know if you think the tank is too big / small, or if you have a better substrate you prefer to use with a Rubber Boa.

Thanks everyone!
Nathan C.

Sand can irritate their eyes, mouth, and vent, I second the suggestion of aspen, coir or even carefresh over sand. I keep my rubber boa on aspen because it holds her tunnels well, personally. I would also recommend a hide on both sides of the tank -- warm and cool -- so that your boa can feel secure and still thermoregulate. If you're getting a young one a 10gal will be fine, they're very small snakes for a long while.
