"Often, as a keeper you will also discover that red-tails will generally be more demanding captives. Cage temperatures are more critical and stress is also more of a concern. Red-tails can be more susceptible to digestive disorders and other ailments. Frequently, they are intolerant of overfeeding and will on average grow and mature more slowly. They can be the biggest of boas but will have smaller litters (of larger young). Don't be discouraged; the competent keeper who knows how to keep red-tails will avoid most problems. And, more captive produced red-tails are now in the market, these babies are more adaptive and easier to keep."



This is an excerpt from your boa care page. I wasn't sure if you were referring to "redtails" as the whole group of BCI and BCC or whether you had singled out the BCC group there. Thanks again.
