You might ask a mod to move this to the boa general section ;)

we just got a baby red tail yesterday!! she is only like 16" long, shes pretty small - but appears very active and very healthy. she is captive bred from a breeder in my area!!

anyone offer some guidelines? I have her all set up with her tank and everything, just any extra bits to make things easier for both of us :p

Moved and merged with an almost identical thread. :) Congrats on the RTB!

Thanks JLC :)

I am really happy with her! she is really sweet and very active and social

how long will her 29 gallon last her? they grow quick dont they?

She wont eat my cats will she? my cats can be pretty vicious, so i would like to think that they have a fightin chance

I can't answer questions about caging and growth....but I can offer some advice about the cats. You should always take steps to make sure the cats and the snake are never ever out in the same room at the same time. If you want to take the snake out, first lock the cats up securely in another room...then wash your hands really well! LOL And always make sure the snake's enclosure can not be knocked over or gotten into by curious cats....your best bet would be to keep it in a totally separate room with a closed door between it and the cats at all times.
