As a side note it is always funny how what we think of as "big" changes with how long we are in the reptile world, or what species you work with. When I was a kid I thought a full grown corn snake was large. Then when I started breeding, a full grown female BCI felt huge. Now anything less of a 10 foot burm feels small. Point is, if you are dedicated to working with these animals, and want to interact with them, you will get used to it. If fed appropriately, even suriname red tail females will grow much slower than what you think. They aren't like retics, burms or any giant species. Essentially they grow along with your increased abilities to handle them.
