Hey guys,

some of you may have seen my previous comments about purchasing an RTB but I had issues with not having space for two snakes. Well that may have changed! So I'm looking into getting a columbian red tail, and have seen a ton of conflicting imformation in regards to cage size, and male vs female growth. A lot of people say that a 6x2x2 is minimum for a full grown female, is this really true? I have a 4x2x1 cage, and would love to have a female (mostly the size factor) and it would be really difficult for me to manage a 6x2x2 cage. Could anyone clear this up?

One more thing, I'm buying a columbian because I love the look, and I want to get into larger snakes. Will a male be pleantly large for me? Or should I go for a female? I want it to be at least 6+ (preferable 7+).

Thanks,
GA
