Hai.
Hey there ladies and gents! My name is Tony Jimenez and I am the proud new owner of a young red tail boa. My girlfriend surprised me with an early Christmas present  Laura has had more experience with reptiles than I have. I have owned anoles, turtles, and a corn snake as a kid. I later had Veiled Chameleon chameleon. She has had a green iguana, a bearded dragon, a uromastyx, a ball python, a Brazilian rainbow boa, and now we own the red tail! We currently have it in a 10 gallon setup with a heating pad underneath, bark substrate, Zoo Med ceramic infrared heat emitter, a heat lamp, driftwood and some fake branches! This is going to be a learning experience for me and I am very excited! I've used car forums, but I never thought I would be joining a reptile forum! Here are some pics.

Re: Hai.
Hello and welcome.
20 gallons is the recommended minimum for a baby and they'll outgrow it quickly, but it looks nice.
