The pet shop down the road from me is selling a 5ft female red tail boa for £340- does this sound about right? The shop is notorious for giving out wrong information and getting things wrong so I thought I'd ask on here.
Also she's labelled as a ruby red salmon tailed boa, I've only ever heard of just red tails, has anyone ever heard if this or is it all wrong? |

| I've always wanted one but the mrs wouldnt let me have an animal that shes scared off but the one down the road is gorgeous and was thinking of starting to save for her but she's already 5 feet. Dunno what size tank she'd need but the one she is in now looks far to small... |

a lot of shops will label a common as a red tale, due to the red tale, this way they can get more money for it. a shop i go to from time to time do this, i pulled them up on it one day asking if it was a true red tale and what localitie it was, they just said its a red tale due to the tale lol.
i think the only way to know for sure would be to do a scale count, i don't know the ins and outs of it. or post on the dark side asking the people who keep different localities for info.
if you fancy a boa that doesn't get too big how about a sonoran dwarf boa,males tend to get between 4-5ft and not much chunkyer than a royal |

From what I've found from googling it she is a red tail boa but i cant be sure, the red tails on google are more of a silver colour than the commons... But again i dont know enough about boas.

| Pandora's set up has just her water bowl, she had a hide for a while but she outgrew it, closest thing I can find to a hide now is a dog basket turned upside down which looks terrible. |

From what I've seen of pandora she's a lot bigger than this one so they should be able to get a hide for her shouldnt they? You'd think they'd make hides for bigger snakes.
What is pandora weighing in at now? |
