Now that I've had the opportunity to own one snake and am still gaining experience from taking care of it, I'm already doing my research for the next snake I want to acquire in the future.

Despite their size, the reading I have done has indicated that Red Tail Boas are ideal follow-up snakes for Ball Python owners (i.e.: beginner snake owners like me).

I wanted to take this opportunity to find out from you guys what measures you take to building and managing a proper cage for a baby Red Tail. I did read that a 10-gallon tank is sufficient for up to a year, but that I'd have to purchase a tank as big as 75-100 gallons eventually, is this right?

Are the living conditions that a Ball must have comparable to what a Red Tail needs?
