I just moved into my new house and a neighbor down the street has a 24" red tailed boa in with a ball python. It is in a fairly small cage, has no source of heat, and is not well fed. I reached in to pick it up and it was very aggressive and tagged my hand, likely because the owner does not like to handle his snakes much and it is hungry. Aside from all this it is fairly healthy and though I am not really looking for another snake, I am thinking about taking it off of his hands to take care of it properly as it is a pretty snake and he is an idiot. I know they get to be about 8-10 feet, but how difficult are they to take care of compared to other constrictors? He is offering it for free, I will need to get a set up for it though.
