I just got to transport the coolest snake...

I'm sorry I didn't get pictures. Red is a 10 year old Red Tail Boa. He was huge! He was at least 5 feet. A teacher friend of mine wanted to rehome him because they no longer allowed him in the classroom. The school told her he was to big. He was used to being handled so much in the class, she was afraid he wouldn't get enough attention at home. He was a very sweet and gentle snake. I took him to his forever home, my brother Danny's house! So I can get pics of him some other time.

*edit* I'm curious, how long do they live for?

*edit #2* They have the average lifespan of 25-30 years and they grow up to 8 feet long. He's gonna be a big boy! He's pretty thick already. He was heavy.

Ooh I cant wait to see some pictures! I love snakes! Wow, he really will be a big boy. I didnt know they lived that long! Thats great how your brother could take him.

That's awesome.
They are sooo heavy. Our red tail boa, Angel is about 5 feet and our other red tail boa, Bo (original name, I know ) is about 6 feet. He is insanely heavy. now you have me interested in how much they weigh, I should ask Justin to weigh them sometime.
