1) Wild caughts can be tricky, but some act almost CB. I wouldn't recommend them though. There are true CBB animals are available from quality breeders at fair prices. There is no reason to gamble with WCs. You will have a much more enjoyable animal if you go with CB. Less problems=more fun.

2)True Redtails are more difficult to breed than BCI, but they are not impossible. Rob Tudehope has had a litter every year from YEARS. I wouldn't say anyone has it totally down, as everyone gets slugs or nothing every once in awhile. They are not a walk in the park, but worth it.

3)Suris get pretty big. Most people have fairly young animals 5-6 year adults. Those are definitely not full grown. With more time, I would expect 8ft plus from females easy. My biggest is a true 10-11ft......

Suris are my favorite snakes out there, hands down. If you get true captive born and bred animals from a good source, you will love them. They are great snakes, and there is no other substitute.
