    It would likely be like most other red tail boas. Great pets and seem to enjoy interaction with people.Yes, it could live in that size tank for life. The minimum recommendation for any boa under about 8' is a 4' by 2' cage

    Too many boas to list and a few balls as well

    you've been looking into getting a boa for the past 20 minutes and already want a hypo arabesque? DAMN. and by 72x18 do you mean your 125 gallon tank that you seem to be pushing on everyone? and yes, a boa would act like a boa. don't be so hasty to get something, do the proper research and chill out, you already made a bad name for yourself on here in several peoples opinions and I just hope all that haste and impatience doesn't lead to poor husbandry since you don't want to take anyones advice.

    if you hadn't started name calling last night when people were trying to give you info I may have given you better advice, but why don't you do some research and then you may be more prepared and then ask questions. but it's never a good thing to start out name calling, because you might find that after that people will be less interested in helping you

    Re: Lookin To Get A Boa

    One : Slow down and do some research. It seems like you decided exactly what you wanted after an hour or searching. And do some research. You seem to be asking question that can be answered through google. Take some time and make sure you know what you want and what you might be getting into.

    Two : Try to slow down on the threads. Ask multiple questions in one thread.

    ...everyone needs a little R&R
