Hey my name's Ashley, and i've had my baby girl since she was three months old. She's now a year and two months, and is four feet long. She is growing like a weed! Her mommy's 11ft and her dad is 8ft so i was told she'd be done around 9ft. I don't care how big she gets because she is the nicest snake in the whole world. I don't think anything could replace my Diamond. She loves children, and goes to Petsmart with me to draw crowds. Anyone whos looking to buy a snake, i strongly recommend this kind of snake. Just make sure you find a breeder. They know their snakes, and they can tell you anything you need to know. Don't settle for any pet-store snake. If you want real quality, go to a breeder. You'll never go back.

JD here I have had my RTB for about 2 years now she is growing at about 2 inches a month and is already 5 feet long she is the nicest snake I have owned. I also have a albino burmesse python he is 9 feet and 30 lbs kind of mean but still love him. I would recommend a RTB to anyone looking for a great snake. Kelly is very tame I love taking her to parties she likes the attention as long as the room is quiet. Anyways thanks for letting me post the comment. JD

columbian red tails are lovely boas, usually docile and very easy to care for, but the two things i want to add on this care guide There is no mention of thermostats, and also that they to be totally happy they should have a medium to high humidity level.

hi. i have and owned over 70 snakes and i am only 16 yrs old. i am known by many of europes best herpetologists. i breed RTB and have breed many sucessful hybrids. many people say that RTBs are not very good as starter snakes or for younger persons, i totally disagree with that. RTB's make excellent starter snakes and are great for younger persons. they rarely bite. i have been breeding since i was 12 and not one of my snakes have bitten me.

I have only had my RTB for about 6 months. I have owned other snakes in the past and the RTB by far is the best type that I have owned. He is so sweet and docile that he makes it easy to care for him. I also made the switch from live to f/t with no problem at all. I look forward to having more in the future.

I have to agree that a hot rock is not a good thing to have in your cage. A mat heater under the tank and a ceramic heater above, and black lights will be much better.
My red tail is about 6mo. old 30" long and is a fantastic snake. no bites yet, eats very good, I just switched over to pre-killed with no problem.

i just thought i would let you know, I NEVER recomended to use a hot rock in a tank with a snake, the tempiture is un-even and can get to hot and burn you snake.
