Hello! (New snake owner)
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!

Re: Hello! (New snake owner)
Welcome! Was the RI from your husbandry or the breeders? Just curious what caused it, lack of heat?

She had it the week I got her. Most of the snakes in the one room were. Most of it was heated with a space heater, it was in an attic room with three windows. After I had her for about a week she seemed to be doing better (probably from less stress too), but I still took her to the veterinarian.
