make sure you know what rainbow boa you want, different kinds require different care. I am assuming you are asking about the brazilian rainbow boa.

Just to make sure, you have to do LOTS of research on these guys. IMHO these aren’t good 1st time snakes, in case you are new to them.

Males get 4-5 feet, females get 5-6 feet some topping out at 7.
Average price for a baby $100-$200.
I keep my temps at 75 on the cool 82 on the warm.

Reflex rainbows dont need a cool and a warm side I have raised mine from a baby (sort of speak because it came from petco and they aquire snakes a little bigger than the baby size) and it has been raised in a rubbermaid bin because it holds humidity better and rainbows need humidity more than they need heat.

As you can see the rubber maid bin is up against the heater on the wall. however, ,my heat only comes on when it gets a certain temperature outside so my house is always at 73 degrees.

I have no UTH, no heatin lamp. all i do is mist it daily and my baby grows well.

Mine eats every week without issue and grows at a good rate.

I never have any health issues and my snake NEVER goes off of its food.
