Another plus to watching Brian rock n roll is all the lovely supporters in the comments. This guy attracts a nice tame crowd
Couldn't agree more!
Everytime I think "this guy's gotta be out of ideas" you come up with a killer video topic. Great video👍👍👍
He’s the man
Thanks! I haven't run out of ideas yet, but am always open to suggestions from my viewers if you have any ideas for future videos!
Brian Boas I have always been interested in a video on YOUR background like how you got into boas and breeding them and when you started getting really into it. How did you end up becoming such an expert on it and stuff like that.
@@kylephilops123 Ok, we'll see. I've thought about doing something like this, but want the channel to be about the snakes, not me. Maybe in the near future.
Brian Boas it would go with your channel. I mean it’s YOUR channel talking about how you got into these boas and why ya know? It’d be a good one I bet!
Cork is so good under heat lamps too, most snakes will just sit inside the cork bark or next to it and radiate its warmth. So good for absorbing heat and it’s generally soft compared to the hard ground. Which snakes likely enjoy!
Thanks for the tips!
You’re the mannnnn!
Well done Brian what an money saving video and i do appreciate you showing and helping all of us snake lovers to save money by using our creativity to save from these high price pet store prices and showing as well as teaching us how to do it property. " HandShakes "
Thanks; glad to help
Wow! I never even knew there was a tree like that. What a perfectly wonderful idea for making hides that are natural. I wisk Oklahoma had cork bark trees. It does give me a couple of good ideas what to use some tree trunks for. The snakes would love such big corkbark hides. I love this idea.
Brian you’re doing a great job I’ve watched everyone of your videos so far lotta great information keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Brian, totally appreciate your channel and really look to you for advice with my boas. Do you have any Dumerils Boas and could you do a segment on them? Caring for would be a great topic. Thanks.
Thanks! I’ve never had a Dumerils boa, but they seem like a great species to work with.
They are. I have 3 boas and my Dumerils is the most “laid back” boa I have ever owned. There are plenty of videos out there on them, but I trust your advice and judgement and was hoping you could do a video. 🤘
This is awesome...would there be any similar bark trees here in texas?
I don't know, but there has to be some kind of tree that can be used to make hides
Where did you get the cork bark? I've been looking for somewhere I can order bulk.
From a cork bark tree someone had cut down. You can probably get some at a reptile or terrarium supply company.
Hey Brian do u do any night temp drops during the off breeding season? Thanks love your videos!!
Thanks! Yes, I drop the night temps a maximum of 10-15 F during the breeding season.
I meant the off season...when not cycling for breeding. Do u drop at all?
I keep the enclosure thermostats at the same setting at night as the day. The ambient temps drop a few degrees due to normal day/night fluctuations.
Thanks for getting back to me. Appreciate your videos
Do you own any rainbow boas?
no
