Ok so i have a baby Guyana red tail atm and i have no worries about being able to handle a full grown Guyana (assuming 12' long 50lbs ) I am 6'2" - 6'3" and ~300lbs so no qualms there, however my girlfriend for 3 years (that lives with me) loves my snakes and she gets very attached to them, so she thinks there will be no problem when the snake gets larger. However i feel that i would be hesitant on letting her handle it alone (when its fully grown) if i wasnt at least in the house . . she doesn't seem to think its an issue. I know its a far ways away but i think about this kinda stuff. So what do you think? how deadly is a fully grown Guyana Red-tail? expecually for a smaller woman (she is like 5'4"

thanks in advance
