and if it is, my apologies, but i had a question.

Are we allowed to talk about Red Tail Boas on here? and if not it's cool but anybody who knows something about them i would love to hear about them.

I've kind of been reading up on them here and there, but nothing much and have seen some people post about them on this site, so i figured i'd ask someone who has owner's experiance with them ( if there are )

My friend has a Red Tail Boa, and is moving to a location that will now allow any animals, he has just bought this and it is a baby, he's looking to get rid of it but is having no luck, and said if it comes down to it he will give it to the animal shelter here, which pretty much means, bye bye snake ( death, our animal control here is horrible, they just seized a ton of snakes, lizards, gators, and a couple of other species from a house that got raded for drugs, they were taken great care of, and nothing was wrong with them, however they just don't know what they're doing down there )

So i'm thinking about taking it off of his hands, because he's going to give me everything really cheap. Now i just got my Ball Python under control and am having a great time with him, and have everything down to what it needs to be!

My concerns are.

Not that i'm afraid of being bitten, but are these snakes aggresive?

How large do they usually get? and what do they end up eating when they get to their full size?

is their habitat pretty much the same as the Ball Python? or is it much different?

Those are my main questions, i think they're gorgeous, but need to find out everything before i invest.

NOW a Ball Python question: I was talking to my main guy who usually tells me what to do, and not to do, how to set things up with my BP and what not. The other day when buying a feeder mouse, i asked him when do i start feeding them rats? He said usually when they're about 3 ft, or i'll know etc. He then went on to say as they got bigger, they started to eat small chickens, and or small rabbits? Now i had thought that even to their full size they just ate Rats? Is this true? I've also noticed that even though my PB is probably 6 months old, or maybe even a little older OR younger give or take a month, that he seems to be hungry alot.

Was he right that i just start feeding them rats when he's gotten about 3ft? or so, he's gotten very big since i've had him, and should probably measure him. But i was just curious about when to start on small rats, and if that stuff about the chicks and rabbits was true, i thought that was a little bizarre.

I thought he was just kidding around and after he stopped telling me about all the things it'll eat i said quote " so it'll eat a small baby if i feed it to?" He did not find this funny, as it was only a joke, and probably a dumb one, i have 6 brothers and 1 2month year old sister, I'm a family man so meant it to be farfetched BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT!

So sorry if this was too long, and i'm sorry if the red tail boa thing shouldn't of been placed here. If nobody can answer about those, know where i can get the answers?

Thank you!
