do you think 16 is too young for a big boid? i just receiced a 10 foot tiger retic from a friend who is moving somwhere the snake cannot. normaly i would not have taken a snake this big but it is puppy dog tame and my friend realy wanted somone who can care for it properly, which i can do. i have been keeping ball pythons,boas,a blue tongued skink, and a gopher snake(another snake given to me)for about six years now.i am completely aware of how big it will be,and what it will need to eat. i guess i just want the opinions of people who know about reptiles befor i decide to keep it or sell it.
