I am still debating whether I want a Ball Python or a Red Tail Boa. I have enough space for either one but I can't get both. My mom has agreed to let me keep frozen feeders so now I have to decide which snake I want. My first snake was a pet store BP but I will never make that mistake again, buying from a petstore that is. I've learned a lot researching both but I can't decide which one I want because I REALLY like both.
Basically, I've found out that red tail boas can be kept out of their enclosure for long periods of time, like 2 - 5 hours at the most. Can you keep a ball python out for that amount of time as long as the weather is nice or if the environment surrounding is warm? I really want a boa but I'm kinda leaning more towards the BP since they're smaller and come in so many beautiful morphs.
