Introducing Wash - Brazilian Rainbow boa

[Tavia]

Been on a wait list for this guy for several months and he just arrived today! Introducing Wash, a male Brazilian Rainbow boa from the great folks at Living Gems Reptiles. He is the future mate to our Zoë.
Pardon the not great pictures ... What they lack in quality, they make up in quantity!

And now the hard part, leaving him alone to get settled in!

I like this one. Very nice high key picture. Thanks for sharing.

 

[ZoologyGirl]

Love that iridescent shine!

 

[Nanci]

I like how he has eye balls or yin yangs on his sides!

 

[Tavia]

Thanks Dave! That one is probably my favorite picture too.

 

[RoseRed]

Very nice looking, and Cliff is an amazing guy! One of the best IMO, congrats!

 

[Joba]

Congrats. He's a beauty.

Beautiful, love their names. You should complete the crew. At least Serenity

Gorgeous lil Washburn dude!!

Love that iridescent shine!

Me too. It's the first thing I see when I look at one of these guys.

Very nice Tavia.

Actually, we started that theme with a Serenity, but for almost all of our Asian ratsnakes.
Our two female coxi are Serenity and River, the male Mandarin is Malcolm and the female is Inara.
Then our other adult BRB pair is Simon and Kaylee.
We just need a Jayne and Vera! My husband is wanting another Bamboo ratsnake pair, not a coxi but one of the other subspecies but haven't decided which yet. If that happens, that will probably be our Jayne and Vera, they have the attitudes to match, generally!
Also want one more female Mandarin at some point and she will almost certainly be named Nandi (sp?) but I haven't checked the spelling on that one yet.

BRBs are such pretty, pretty snakes, and this guy is definitely no exception! Congrats on the new addition.

He sure is handsome. I love the way they just peek out from their coils.

He was kind of out in the open when I peeked in at him this morning, so took a few pictures. This was also the first time my husband got to have a good look at him, always feel bad for him, he's usually at work when these packages arrive and almost always has to wait a few days to actually see them!

 

[Tavia]

Wash ate for the first time tonight, with us, always a good feeling!

 

[RoseRed]

Oh and who was the dam/sire for this little guy?

 

[Tavia]

Dam is Almandine and the sire is Scarface.

 

[Tavia]

Had Wash out to handle today and my husband got some pictures. He was nice and calm while we both held him for a bit. Hard to believe that Zoë was that small once! Didn't really realize how big she had gotten until you compare the two!
