Fun facts about Brazilian rainbow boas: [LIST] [*] they are non-venomous snakes, they are constrictors [*] do not grow that big tbh or at least not as big as you'd expect given the reputation of some constrictors (about 4-6ft) [*] they're not the best pets, they have high maintenance needs with babies needing 90%+ humidity and adults needing 70%+ BUT THEY ARE VERY PRETTY 100% great snakes to use as a reference species for something magical or fantastical in nature [*] I love them [/LIST] tho speaking of theming... makes me wonder if the theme is going to be flower+an animal attached to them which is a shame cuz I would LOVE to see snakes for all the fest familiars, there are so many pretty ones and goofy ones out there

tysm to the artist who made it! you have no idea the sheer amount of joy it's giving me to see one of my favorite not-very-well-known animals be portrayed so gently and beautifully!

Fun facts about Brazilian rainbow boas:
  • they are non-venomous snakes, they are constrictors
  • do not grow that big tbh or at least not as big as you'd expect given the reputation of some constrictors (about 4-6ft)
  • they're not the best pets, they have high maintenance needs with babies needing 90%+ humidity and adults needing 70%+ BUT THEY ARE VERY PRETTY 100% great snakes to use as a reference species for something magical or fantastical in nature
  • I love them



tho speaking of theming... makes me wonder if the theme is going to be flower+an animal attached to them which is a shame cuz I would LOVE to see snakes for all the fest familiars, there are so many pretty ones and goofy ones out there

Undel confirmed it will be flower + snake for this years theme, we're getting an all snake run.

But these are such cool pics, I did wonder if the iridescence was true to real life and it's so sick that it is. I know a lot of darker scaled snakes can have this sorta rainbow shimmer effect, but wow the way it plays with the colors here is gorgeous..... I hope the other snakes are all such cool breeds.

I saw that too and I was also very happy! I'm hoping to get a boa constructor for one of the holidays because I think they have very cute faces. I hope you don't mind me sharing a couple other snake pics because I have a few that I was thinking of when I saw the theme was snakes. For fire I think Baird's ratsnake would be a great fit because of how its scales look like embers (also it is one of my very favorites and I love it): [img]https://b1730346.smushcdn.com/1730346/wp-content/uploads/Bairds-Rat-Snake-1.jpg[/img] The red-spotted gartersnake could be a really nice fit for lightning, although I could also see them going with a snake that is more visibly spiky. Despite the name, they do come in blue (I saw a blue one a couple of weeks ago actually).
