Should I get a red tail boa?
My girlfriends step dad has offered to give me his red tail boa, i believe it is about two years old and 4 1/2 feet long. its is current being housed in a 29 gallon tank which is not nearly big enough for the snake. if i was to take it i would build it a 2' x 4' melamine enclosure. 1st question, is that big enough for it currently and how long could it stay in that sized enclosure. My 2nd question is that this would be my first snake (I currently have a bearded dragon, leopard gecko, Asian forest scorpion, and a community fish tank). Would it be too much to handle? Im aware that they can get quite big but how fast do they grow to full size. And im not so much concerned about the length of the snake but more about how big around it gets and how heavy.
