I've been doing numerous hours of research on different snakes and I think found the perfect one. I am thinking about getting a Red Tail Boa. The only thing keeping me from wanting to get one is my small niece. She is 1 year old and when I gave it some thought about getting a Red Tail, she popped up in my mind. I know it's very dangerous to have large snakes around small children. The Red Tail I am thinking about getting is still very young but I do realize they get really big, especially if they're female. Do you guys think I should still get one? Maybe when she is over, I could keep the snake locked in its cage until she leaves?
