I have a Ball Python and im looking into a Red Tail Boa, Need opinions and pics!
I purchased my first snake (Ball Python) about a year ago and i'm in love with this guy but i want to expand a little bit and decided after talking to a friend and looking into it a bit I'm really pushing for a Red Tail Boa. So guys and girls help me out here, is it a good idea? i want a more active snake and a longer body. Please leave your opinions and i would like to see your RTB's and BP's also would love to see some morphs

Re: I have a Ball Python and im looking into a Red Tail Boa, Need opinions and pics!
Sorry I wish I could help you more... I used to have a pair of red tails, and I used to breed rosy boas but I got outta both of them cause I just like balls better. Red tails get BIG and need much more space than BPs do. I fed my last red tail girl rabbits, and it added up quickly for me. They are great snakes, she was sweet as pie....but Im just not into em anymore. Keep whatever snakes your heart migrates to....as long as you can properly care for and house it for its lifetime

I have two RTB's now. And they're absolutely wonderful. I have a younger male and a 10 year old full grown female.
If you have the cage space, go for it. They're very social and love to be out of their cage and handled.

Ah I'm glad someone asked about red tails! I was looking I to getting this gorgeous sunglo I saw at a pet store, but the few people I know that own them say they get more an more aggressive as they get older and like to bite, hold on, and coil around you... And then at the same time they say "but they're great snakes" so what is their personality like? Male vs female? Etc?

My big girl I just got, but she hasn't been aggressive towards me at all.
My male isnt full grown but is pretty chill as well.

They're fun, social, and easy to feed. I seek solace and friendship with my albino BCC when my lousy BP decides she's too good to eat anything or scared of the world <-- I've had many BP's that were very social and easy to feed, don't get me wrong, just my latest one is acting like this. So I'm totally +1 for this boa if you have the space for it.

You nailed it. Our female hasn't eaten since X-mas eve. I think she is a very nice girl, but it wears me down a bit to offer prey and then toss it. I don't know what its gonna take to get it going.
The boa was ready for another prey item and gladly would have taken it if I offered.
They seem to display better for me personally.
