Meet Benito, my Brazilian Rainbow Boa

[Catherine]

I posted a year ago that I was thinking of getting a Brazilian Rainbow Boa. I decided to do it.

Do meet Benito.

I can't believe I have done this.



He is very beautiful. 



He has perfect markings.
If you look at his side he has crescent moon markings down his side. He has 3 perfect lines on his face. 
We do think he is male. He is way smaller than a female littermate.

I met his mother and father yesterday. I will get pictures of them soon. There is a variation in background colour so I don't know how dark or light Benito will be. The father is a lighter colour phase and the mother is darker and  more of a copper red. 
Either way Benito is a BRB and that makes him an amazing snake.

Why Benito. He is Brazilian and needed a Spanish/Brazilian name.

Also it turns out there is a town in Manitoba called Benito.

Even better, Benito is the Spanish form of Benedict. So he is my little Benny.

Added bonus to the name, if Benny is actually a girl I can call her Benita. We know how often I get the gender wrong with reptiles. If he is a girl then in 4-5 years we will have babies.

I need to get newer pictures because Benito has grown a bit. He is nocturnal so I usually work with him at night with a purple light. I am not sure what colour he is right now.
