The beautiful Argentinian Rainbow Boa is just one of nine subspecies of Rainbow Boas, which are often kept in captivity. With its long, slender body and strikingly patterned scales, it isn't hard to see why the Argentinian Rainbow Boa is such a popular pet.Native to the humid forests of South America, the Rainbow Boa is a nocturnal hunter. These Boas are a bit difficult to keep in captivity and must have carefully regulated temperature, light and humidity, and they are not recommended as a beginner's snake. Newborn Argentinian Rainbow Boas eat and grow at amazing rates, and are generally nervous and hyper. These young Rainbow Boas can be made tolerant of people through frequent and patient handling.
The Argentinian Rainbow Boa is a little more slender than the average Rainbow Boa, and has sometimes been called Slender Rainbow Boas. They grow to be about 6 feet in length. The scale pattern is generally set on a background of lighter brown or gray shades, which may be tinted with orange hues. Due to oddly textured scales, these Boas are so brightly colored because they shimmer. A pattern of rings and spots is clearly seen atop the background scale color and in Argentinian Rainbow Boas, this pattern is very intricate and elaborate. Females are larger than males and it is difficult to sex young Boas externally. Probing is the most common method used in sexing them. Argentinian Rainbow Boas are not quite as common as Brazilian Rainbow Boas but are gaining popularity and are by no means uncommon as captive snakes.
