    I'm not a snake lover, but I have to admit that she really has beautiful markings. How big will she get? - and how big is Sam? They don't bite? - but they squeeze, don't they?

    She's stunning!! I hope to have a redtail someday.

    Have you thought of a name for her? How about some shots of Sam!

    When I was a kid for show and tell one parent brought a HUGE snake. He let it on the floor at the end and said kids could touch it, probably would be issues with that now. I touched it first and only one other kid did after.

    It was calm but was black or almost black green, was so long ago.

    Very nice markings.

    she is only around a foot long right now but since she is a female she will grow to be 12 to 13 feet long within three years. Sam is 1 year old and he is about 4 feet long right now. He will probably olny grow to be between 8 and 10 feet long. Most likely 8. They are constrictors which means that after they have bitten their pray they coil around it and sqeeze it untill it can no longer breath before they swallow it.
