So a couple weeks ago,a buddy of mine asked if I could rehome a South African Rock Python,well I took him/her in,even though they can be aggressive.Well turns out my breeder was interested in the Rock Pythons again,so he offered me a trade for a Red Tail.. I thought I would get a small 2-3 foot juvenile or a baby since they have about 16 babies. I never thought I would get one of the 5+ footers. Even trade! So Rex is about twice the size of the Rock Python,but is such a sweetheart! Rex is close to 6 feet long,and loves to lay around on me if I'm watching tv,or if I'm walking around he enjoys the ride! He has some damaged scales probably from the live jumbo rats,but they could be years old..not too sure,he ate his first meal last week since I got him.A big fat jumbo rat,and I always supervise feedings with my snakes,well Rex bit this rat on the head,and blood spattered all over. (Luckily I decided to feed him in the shower,so he could be stretched out a bit,and its easier for me to supervise) So does anyone else have red tails on f/t? If so,was it an easy swap? I just dont want to have several failed attempts like my BP's.Pictures as soon as I can get them up!
