Can't go wrong with Jeff clark he has amazing BRBs and he breeds for quality not quantity. I just talked with him about getting a a nice male to breed with my female.

i love BRBs, and thats a sweet one you got there and will only get better with age.

Sweet BRB - I love it...How hard are they to keep?Thanks :) , there care is fairly simple.. The hardest and most important part to keeping them healthy and happy is to get the temps and hummidity where they need to be. Once you get that good, they are as easy as any snake to keep :)

Yeah most people think they are tough just because you have to pay attention at first. so what do you keep yours at?

Nice looking brb man!

Im only doing this to bust your chops cause of the shipping thread question.

if you search lol youll find an example of setup and later on some info about temps and humidity.

here you go lol

They dont need or like hot temps like many reptiles species.. The temps should be kept in the high 70s to low 80s. I keep mine at 75-78 degrees.. The hummidity is another thing that can be hard depending on what you use for caging. I use and reccomend rubbermaids or sterlites because they hold the hummidity so well. Babys need hummidity of 90-100% which isnt hard with a rubbermaid and a good substrate like cypress mulch.. For someone new to snakes it may be a bit much but there easy if you can get the temps and hummidity right.. They are a really rewarding species to keep and very underated IMO. There beauty is second to none :)

Thanks for sharing Jason!

I've been really keeping an eye on those BRB's and always was fascinated by them since I was a lil' kid. Their iridescence is incredible and they also don't get too outrageously large either! Yours is a beautiful specimen and he/she looks very happy! :cheers:

yep pretty much exactly what I do. i thik what most people have trouble with is they want to put it in an aquarium or cage and unless they do some work to it it's hard to keep that high humidity. tubs work the best although not as pretty as a scenic glass cage.
