No problem.

Most of the true red tails (BC's) are similarly tempered/have a similar demeanor to BI's. My Dwarf BC is similarly docile to my 2 BI's, but a little grippier. Having said that, could just be a personality thing. I've held a 6+ FT male Suriname and can say they are stunning snakes as adults and this guy was calm as can be.

Make sure you do your locale research on the BC's you want. BI's tend to be a little more tolerant of lower humidity than many of the locale BC's, but again, that's something someone keeping an intermediate species should be ready for. Also, locality in BC's can determine ultimate adult size to an extent, as can feeding regiment.

I've heard that with BI's, slow growing is best, but with BC's, slower growing than even BI's is better.

So, take everything I said about BI's and apply it BC's except adjust for size, humidity, and slower growth.

Good luck on your search and keep us posted.
