i had a red tailed boa for about 3 years ended up at 6ft... name was spike .... but it just got too big and i ended up giving it back to the shop and then they sent it off to a zoo... so it was pretty cool =o

just make sure if you want it to be nice and what not you handle it A LOT(i didn't handle mine much and it bite my pops in the hand), and you can also feed them dead rats to make sure that 'animal instinct' doesn't take over.

its fun to show off to friends =)

we tried to feed mine a bunny but it just ended up spitting it out... what a bummer =|

yea ive had him for about 2 months and hes really calm and good to hold when hes not grouchy. he has yet to bite me or the girl i got him from. hes about 3 or 4 years old and a rescue. he eats frozen large rats and baby bunnys about 2 every 2 or 3 weeks.

I've never really wanted a pet that I have to feed other pets to.

hmmm? My dog eats mostly what I eat, and some dogfood. I don't usually feed him live mice. No offense to you or your snake, but I don't really relish that whole concept.

drape him around your neck when you go around town, maybe give him some muscle relaxants so he just chills.

thats sick! my bro and i wanted to get one from petco, and hopefully let it grow really big. but we didn't get it. although we used to have pet gardner snakes, and one cool special snake(don't know what type) until it escaped in our house. and that was the end of snakes!

yea i got mine from a friend for $50 so much much cheaper then a petstore. ur dog eats pig, beef etc.. and those can both be considered pets. i snake does NOT eat live food. he eats pre-frozen large rats and small rabbits.

Erroneous. I've been vegitarian for the past three and a half years, and unless my dog is getting scraps from my grandma or someone else, he doesn't eat any meat either.

nah never had one, but my friend has pirannhas(sp?), they're so cool. we have a good time tossing meat in the tank and watching them kick the shit out of everything.
