May I preach to the choir for a moment?

I guess as he grows up you'll start to get a better idea. Those red tails don't stay vibrant red like that forever if they are BCI. I'm leaning more towards BCI mainly because BCCs are much much more expensive than BCIs, and BCIs are much much more common than BCCs, and then the saddles.

Tis true. Only time my tell at this point. I was hoping for some sort of answer so I can plan for his permanent enclosure but I think I am going to have to err on the side of caution and go with an expandable enclosure just in case. Cost... this guy and his other tank mates came from the same guy. He ends up with snakes that are impounded, adoptions, given to him to sell, etc. This guy came from a "breeder" in Seattle from his pet snake. Of course there's no contact info because the guy moved.

Keep us updated with pics, I don't think the temp difference is too much between the two so I wouldn't beat yourself up over it, it'll get exhausting lol

Will do and tis also true! He seems to be doing well so I try not to stress too much.
