are red tail boas allowed to swim in pools when they are bigger?

Pools??? As in swimming pools? I would think NOT. The chemicals used in the water could not possibly be good for them. However, they might enjoy a dip in a clean bathtub. (Make sure you scrub out old soap residue and make sure the water is neither warm nor cold.)

I think bath tubs swims are a perfect place...you can control the cleanliness of the tub, temperature of the water, monitor the snake and easy clean up afterwards.
I agree with Judy; while I've seen some neat pictures of big ol' snakes have a swim in a pool, I wouldn't put my snakes in a pool because of the chemicals alone.

If the pool isn't treated yet and was just filled up it may be ok. Of course I would rather use the bathtub than a pool
