I see what the post says above but like everyone I have my own thoughts. Heck, I have my male green and a female red tail. I have been bit by the red tail way to many times for do nothing. My green, very calm, got him as a baby. If you do go with a green do not get a wild caught one. They tend to be more high strung and harder to get to eat. In fact I got mine from Kelly who is on this forum. He made sure it was eating before he sent it. He does have a strong feeding response, almost like the tic but he tends to sniff before biting it. I have never been one to not get what I wanted when I wanted it. If I was determine on somthing, I go full in and do not trade or get rid of what i have. I had only a couple years snake experience before I got mine. But I did have a redtail, burm and a ball. It did take me a year after I said I was going to get one to actually get one.



I have to ask why the post above says the conditions have to be different. They do not need pools to swim in, in fact most people do not know how to keep the water clean or warm enough.



They are a great snake, but I do not let any of my snakes around both shoulders, or not pay attention to them while they are out. That is a sure way to get into trouble.



Good Luck on whatever you do.
