Reed Tailed Boas/ Snakes

[Kiko]

After I get my dog in December If i go to college out of state I get to get my own apartment with whatever pets I want.
And I only want 1 more, that would be a Red Tailed boa.
Can someone tell me about them?
Enclosure, feeding, heat/humidity ect.

I wouldn't recommend them for someone who is new to reptiles, which you seem to be considering I think I remember you calling your ball python a boa python. I'm not saying this to be rude, but these snakes get big. Before you even think about it spend a few months on the internet doing research. I say go with a Corn Snake, a lot smaller and more beginner friendly.

I am new new to snakes not reptiles. My family has kept them for years.

I don't want a corn snake I have a ball Python and like pythons and boas much better.
The Boa python was a typo, I cleared that up a while back.

So you're new to snakes? Get a Kenyan Sand Boa. They're cute and stay pretty small.

Hmm, I might look into it.
How big do they get? Are they prone to aggression?

Is this accurate info?

[leesha]

I'm not sure, I didn't read through it all. I don't own a KSB yet, I'm still doing research as well. Females are usually bigger than males, but I don't think many get over 3 feet.

I have a good long while before I decide anyway.

Are you specifically looking for a new snake, or just a new reptile?

[Kiko]

A snake, I love snakes.
I love other reptiles to, but snakes are my favorite.
I do not have the space for a larger Lizard either, i feel like they need so much more space.
I have space for a 75G tank but no larger.

I just spent 100$ for a vet trip for my Python cause she would not eat for a long time, but now after a med that treats mites and increases appetite she is eating every feeding no issue. I was so happy.
(this was a few months ago)
She had a lot of gas but was otherwise in perfect health. She is pretty dang small to and she is full grown.
