Yeah Jack I would say advanced, a lot of things combined. First is their size. Able to get over 12 feet, that also requires a huge enclosure with some good height. Second, They have that fast metabolism, always moving like coachwhips and racers. They do better with heat from above like a basking light or ceramic heater as opposed to an undertank heater because they bask in the branches. Third is they are uncommonly available CBB and may cost a little more. Fourth is they can be bite when they want and you can't really avoid it like you can other snakes due to their speed, and they will aim for the face. You may have to use a hook just to get them out of the enclosure.

Not to discourage anyone from getting them, just let them know what they are buying and suggest experience with other big colubrids which aren't quite as fast as them like beauties. They are definitely worth it. Imagine an angry 10 ft snake that is lightning fast biting at your face, that is their potential. Mine is CBB so he has a pretty good temper. I've only taken a few bites and headbutts so far and he tail rattles some but I'm sure he will calm down. I only recently got him so hes still adjusting from the move.

Tai is huge, can't wait to see the pics.
