ID redtail boa

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I got ahold of where I bought them and he said he was told they are a cross between rtb and argentine
 
wow full body pics i might even guess argentine to hogg island. whatever he is though he's a pretty snake.
I would estimate bigger and just prepare for that... that way you can't really be caught off guard if it gets big or you can be happy if it stays smaller. It's rare in either of them but guess for around 10-12 ft... if it is part hoggy then even smaller, hoggs don't get as big as most other b.c.
 
I'm not to familiar with the hogg island boa I'll have to look that one up. Size doesn't really matter to me and species isn't to important other than I would like to know, and what to expect in the future I have no plans on breeding just wanted a new pet lol!
 
Hybrids usually have what is known as hybrid vigor which means that will be generally more aggressive, eat more, and grow to be larger than both parent species but it is difficult to say exactly how much bigger it will be.

aggressive, well one of the two likes to get in really tight spaces and hisses alot but so far no strikes I figure it's just a matter of time though, I haven't been bitten in years, I plan on continuing to handle them every day and hopefully they stay gentle.

I am not saying they won't tame down (especially if you handle them every day) it will just take a little longer is all.
