There sooo not!!
My g/f was sooo mad at me the day I told her that I was picking up a Red Tail. We went to Petco and our one friend got 3 free red tails and wanted to know if we wanted one. I wanted to handle the snake before I agreed just because I heard some back and forth on their temperament. As soon as he took him out he was very active and I kind of had a hard time keeping up with him. I think he wasn't happy with how I was supporting him and he let me know about it with a couple of bites. Ever since she didn't like them. She said there was something about their eyes that makes them just look mean she said. That all changed when I brought this one home. There something about her, I'm not sure what it is but she has this calmness. She doesn't squirm she just hangs out and observes everything around her. She completely redefined the red tail definition in my g/f's head so for that I'm grateful.
She is soaking right now. I am going to continue soaking like you said until I see that shes looking a little better. All petco had was f/t hoppers so I am going to feed her one every three days. I'm actually thinking this might be a little more effective in terms of keeping her appetite up and wanting to feed. I think I am going to name her Maggie![]()
