Uh Oh, Possibly buying a RTB, need help
Well actually I'm kind of excited because I've been wanted to branch out and get a different snake rather then a ball for sometime now, but the oppritunity never presented itself I guess. Whether it be funds or just things coming up, but now I think the time has come.
They have a red tail boa at my local pet shop not sure how old, and there claiming its a male, and I do trust them because they have a lot of snakes and are very knowlegable. I'd say he's probably about 4.5-5.0 feet, and a really friendly guy, only thing is he has a huge scar down his belly from some operation he must of had. Neither of the owners knew what it was from, I was thinking some kind of belly rot due to how long the scar was. The wound seemed fine now, and deffinately seems like it wasn't yesterday that this happened. Apparantly he hasn't been selling because of this reason, so they lowered the price for christmas to 75 bucks. I don't see myself being able to pass this one up lol.
Now I have loved RTB's for a long time now just because of there size and there awesome paint job of course, but I have had a bad expierence. One time at petco some guy apparently gave jerry the snake guy (employee) 2 baby rtb's for free, just because he couldn't care for them. He said he was going to try and sell them, and offered one to me. Before agreeing I wanted to handle it to see what I was getting into, and this guy was nuts. I held him and he would just constantly move, FAST too! It was hard to keep up with him, and eventually I guess he got uneasy and bit the crap out of my hand, which does hurt a lot more in comparison to a ball haha. I don't know if its just the way he was, but this other one is a total mush. Very friendly guy, totally trustworthy. I just don't want a snake of that size doing what that little one did, because that was a little crazy for me.
So if anyone wants to try and talk me out of this purchase please come and do so, because I need some reasons not to buy this haha. Just if someone can let me know what I'm about to get myself into would be awesome.
