dwarf maybe?

mistysprouse Oct 30, 2003 12:47 AM

ok I got a free redtail tonight who is full grown and is 5 years old, probably just about 35" long and 1.25" in diameter. His eyes remind me of a bug, they kind of "pop" out of his head, not like other normal redtails. Is there a dwarf version of redtails? I will try and get pics soon

There are a bunch, such as Nicaraguans, Hondurans, Boas from Panama, Costa Rica and more... there are also smaller, more unusual Island forms located on Islands just off the coast of some of these areas... such as Corn Islands, Cay Caulkers and more...
She sounds a bit small, maybe just fed on maintenance diet...

i'm sure many others will throw in their $0.02 too - lots of nice boas like these going around lately...

take care - Joe

so this was a rescue snake. we took it to a reptile store, to try and figure out what it was, and it is a normal redtail. but he has been starved for most of his life, kept in a 20 gallon tank and that is what is wrong with him. they tryed to sex him and some of his skin feel off, his tail is injured/infected because of a bad shed maybe. They said this snake was better off dead, How can people be so dumb?
