Hello everyone! I'm so pleased to join the forum. It's great to learn from experts and share experiences with other snake owners!
I've been the owner of a 1-2 year old red-tailed Colombian boa, who I've named Basil (from "A Clockwork Orange") for about 6 weeks. She's the snake in both my avatar and my profile picture. She's about 4ft in length, has a tight grip, adventurous but docile. She's never once struck at me, even during shed or feeding.
When I first acquired her from a private breeder, she had a bad RTI. I was told she may not live, and I should return her to get my money back. But I couldn't stand to place her back in the hands of the breeder. I took her to the vet and, one week and 110 dollars later, she's healthy as ever!
