I just got my first red tail boa on saturday, She's amazing, I saved her from the pet store in the mall, when I first seen her her face was all banged up and bruised, she had a cut in her side, that was about 3 weeks ago Saturday I went to get her and she had ANOTHER cut in her side this one is deep, it's more like a gash, I have to put stuff on it everyday til it heals, dunno what the hell that pet store was doing when they had her though, she's about 5 feet, and she's got the prettiest eyes =) she isn't my first snake, I also have a corn snake I've had for a couple years, and a box turtle, and aside from reptiles i have 3 cats and 5 dogs heh. =)
