How Big do Female Red Tails Usually Get?

[dragonboy4578]

I have a question (don't mean to hijack this thread, but it has to do with this subject). If you are wanting to breed your female, should you put her on rabbits eventually? I mean, should they be bigger in order to breed? Or is it ok to feed rats and just let her get as big as she'll get and she'll still be ok for breeding? Hope that makes sense....

I have a baby that I'd like to breed one day. But I'd also, ideally, like her to stay around 7-ish feet. I certainly won't do ANYthing to slow/stunt her growth - and if she gets huge, no problem. If she should be on rabbit eventually and be bigger for breeding purposes, so be it. I can handle that and she's sweet as sugar so no worries there. I just wondered if rats would be ok for her for the duration of her life if she were going to be bred. Thanks!

It is perfectly fine to breed boa's that are just on rats. That is what most of the boa breeders that I have talked to do.
