Yes. You hear it all the time, but somehow I have to learn through experience.
If your hand smells like rats, do NOT put your hand in the enclosure.

Also if your boa is a Columbian it is not a "redtail". This is a name that folks apply to commons for marketing purposes. True redtails are Peruvians, Guyanans, Surinams etc. Mark

So anyone got some advice for a newbie

Just make sure you got your stuff straight when it comes to your husbandry and feeding schedule. Also start hook training him now. Doesn't have to be a hook but use something to start conditioning him to know when it is feed time and when it is play time.

Do you plan on housing them all together ?? Not a good idea if so. I think most will agree with me, never house more than 1 snake to an enclosure.
