Hello
I am planing on buying one or maybe 2 Colombian red tailed boas. Now I'm new to keeping snakes and very dumb when it comes to all the abbreviations BCI, BCC all that stuff, so if there's a thread going on about this please forgive me.
The 2 that I've found are tiny babies and maybe only a foot long. They are just adorable and eating f/t already which really sold me on the pair. Is there any special care I should give them since they are so tiny? Or should I treat them the same as I would an adult?
I also know that they can get to be quite large only there seems to be a debate on how large that is. I'm figuring 7-10 feet is that about right? Ok and how fast do they grow?
I've also heard that they will grow to eat rabbits which is no big deal, but when I said something to a lady at a different pet store than the one that had the 2 snakes I want, she said that they could just eat large rats... Is this true and advisable or was she just saying that cause I told her that I had a pet rabbit so I wouldn't be offended like some would be?
Also what is their life span I'm 33 so if they live for about 40 years that may be an issue I cant imagine a 70 year old picking up and hauling around a 10 foot snake..... But then again just because I can't imagine it doesn't mean it cant happen
Any pointers are more than apreciated I heard that these can be a great advanced beginner snake and they are just the most beautiful snakes in my opinion.
