Ah I was imagining more like 10 feet, I clearly didn't research enough yet! 6-8 feet would possibly work for us. Is it safe to say males are generally smaller than females when it comes to most snake types? Anyways, I'll have to see what happens. I'd like our youngins to grow more before committing to another! Thanks for the other breed suggestions as well, definitely something to consider. But yeah, beautiful snake

They generally do, but often times given time to grow and if fed the same way as females, they will eventually get very close to the same size or bigger than a small female. I wouldn't hedge your bets on a specific sex if your aim is a smaller snake. Although it's usually the case, there's many exceptions to the rule.

Good to know! Thank you again.

The true red tailed Boa (Boa constrictor constrictor) often attains lengths of 10' plus and boas are one of the snakes of myths and legends so this misunderstanding over size is common.

No weight on Crona, as the new scale doesn't do grams (my father bought it), and it said he was 1.7 ounces which is 48 grams which is way way off. lol I'll have to buy some more AAA batteries for my old one, it fell and the batteries disappeared off to who knows where. He's definitely grown though!

Here he is all freshly shed and in a dark phase. Everyone in the "quarantine room" (quotations because they're long out of quarantine now just haven't had the energy to move them yet) except Tirel went into shed at the same time. Now Sanji and River are shedding, too.

The coat is because I had just gotten home and spotted the shed, so I had to take him out.
