I was talking to my across the street neighbor who has like 30 reptiles, not just snakes, but including burmese, retic, dumerils, redtails and I don't know what else!

Anyway, she has know that I have quite a few corn snakes and had mentioned that I wanted to get 1 larger snake at the Daytona Beach Expo, but nothing that one person could not handle when it was grown. I was leaning towards a redtail or dumerils. Of course my son wants the giants, but I am not ready for that.

Anyway, she has rescued some of these animals and is out of room in her apartment and has given me a full grown redtail female, a pair of 3 ft dumerils and a dwarf retic, i think about 6 ft so far. Well, now my son has his retic, but hopefully it stays under 15 ft!

Up until tonight, the largest snake we have had is a ball python. I guess I can say they are re-rescued,lol.

Any tips, beyond common knowledge? Have already warned my son about letting them exercise only in certain closed rooms and only completey supervised. Don't want to lose a cat or something!

Sorry for the long post, and thanks for your input. I am excited but also cautious.
