Wow, are my Rainbow boas perfect!??!! We are in love. It has been 4 days since they arrived. They got here when expected and were packaged with care. I was so shocked and happy. Now they are thriving in their new home. You can tell how wonderfully taken care of they were at birth. I appreciate boabay for keeping me updated through the shipping process. While I couldn’t reach someone over the phone, I did receive numerous emails regarding my order and experience. I highly recommend Boabay.com

Working with Boabay was a wonderful experience. Very attentive and helpful sales staff! They helped ensure I got exactly the brb I wanted. They arrived quickly, healthy, and adjusted the first day. This is the only place I will order my babies from! Thanks everyone.

We recently bought a BRB from Boabay. Other than a small snag in shipping, though no fault of theirs, we had an excellent experience. Our new addition arrived happy and healthy and is settling in very nicely.

Ordered a brazilian rainbow boa Sunday evening. Received an email immediately saying it would ship Monday. Arrived Tuesday with a slight delay from UPS, no biggie. They responded to my emails quickly.
Animal was intact and appears very healthy. Very active and alert. I guess I was lucky seeing all the sub par reviews. No complaints so far.

I received my little raibow boy, he is so cute. Within minutes of unpacking and holding him he began moving like crazy. He ate right away and just began roaming all over his enclosure. Thanks Boabay for my new addition to my family he is cute.

We just got our baby rainbow boa and are madly in love with her. Great coloring. Responsive when we moved her to her temporary home for monitoring until her home is done. Customer service has been prompt in response and helpful with start up info. Thanks Boabay!

I received my baby today and, although I almost passed out when I saw how teeny tiny she is, I couldn’t have been more pleased or happier. I have 4 other juveniles and when I purchased them as “babies” (from a different company) they were 5x bigger than this little one. She’s tiny! I’ve named her Moxie because right out of the box she was strutting herself about her quarantine enclosure, hunting and didn’t ever seem to mind that she’d just been jostled about for several hours or that I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Although her color was a little darker when she arrived from traveling even that already improving. I’m so in love with her I can barely stand it!

We were extremely happy with our purchase. The Brazilian rainbow boa (named Willow) arrived happy and healthy! Willow even ate on the first day. Also Willows two sister and brother are thriving. We’ll definitely be back for our next purchase later on down the road. Thank you Boabay!!
