I personally like the Red Tail boas because I like the snakes that get a decent size and are thick, like Ball pythons. I really want a RTB, but I think it would be too much for me because I want to own many BPs and I already have a Dumeril's boa whose going to get a good 7-8 feet long so an RTB that would be 10 feet would be too much for me. Though, they are beautiful snakes.
