New RTB

[lars5277]

48"W x 23"D x 30"H

Is this big enough for a RTB, when it is full grown? I have been eyeballing one in town for several weeks now and would like to get it. I am positive I can meet its needs pretty easily. I am just going to handle it before I make the purchase to check its temperment.

An adult rtb needs a 6' x 2' cage.

Well as Becky knows, our family is all madly in love with columbian boas now after these past months with Rauri! What a great large but not massive snake he is.

Do you know if this RTB is a male or female? How old and big is it now? You might want to start it in something smaller depending on it's current needs.

What the ...?

Ok, anyways, 36" is just a baby. Probably born this year. If it isn't a calm and gentle boa the chances are it will be. They easily settle in. Babies can be a little nippy though, so don't let that change your mindset. Male boas can be really skittish when they are young, but they will usually settle in with time. Once you start down the boa track it's hard to go back

He is asking $150 for it. I am willing to guess it's a male, cause if it was a female he would probably ask for more.

That .357 Magnum ain't no childs toy. It holds 8 shots, has an 8 in" Mangum ported barrel and will crack an engine block. That fine piece of steel cost me $375 used, and worth every penny. I am thinking of putting a scope on it and using it for deer season next year. If you want a starter gun go with a 9MM, a .357 can knock you on your rear, rip your arm off, knock you out or worse. That .357 is a mans gun, or possibly a very tough lady.
I also have a guns page on my website. Guns are my other passion. I have 18 in all including 4 WWII Military rifles not listed there.

I really want that RTB.

You just confused the living crap out of me mixing guns and snakes in the same post, but hey that's life.

A normal snake usually goes for the same amount and doesn't matter on the sex. 150.00 is a lot for a Columbian RTB, but a good price for a BCI. What kind is it?

[Shelby]

$150 is pricey.. male, female.. doesn't matter.

Neonate CBB usually run $75 for a colombian.

If the snake has a very clean pattern or pink/red color etc, that may explain it, or it could just be typical pet store overpricing.

All I know is he has RTB written on the glass. He raises a few snakes him self, I am going to talk to him more this week about the snake. This is the guy who runs my favorite pet store in town. I will see if he will let me take a pic of it.
