    What should I do?

    I was at a pet store yesterday and there was a beautiful red tail boa. I held him for 20 minutes and I really want to get him but they're illegal where I live. Any ideas on what I should do?

    Not a smart idea to get it.

    Move somewhere where rtb's aren't illegal. Is it illegal where the snake is kept also?

    Re: What should I do?

    I assume the red tailed boa would be illegal just because of its potential size? Or maybe its just a rule in the place where they live. Ya you definitely need to move to where they aren't illegal because they are cool snakes. But you shouldn't get one if they are illegal. That is just asking for trouble.
