Hi Guys!
i am from South Africa and i am on the Royal site, but i need more snakes!
we are a bit curbed for choice in Cape Town!
i have seen and handled a few BRB and i have a Royal,
now i have a few Q's...
how big does a BRB get? lenght? the girl friend dont want a big snake
so that kind of rule out a red tail boa..
hows there temper? feeding?

They get quite long (5-7ft), but they are slender so they are not really classed as a big snake

It all depends on what kind you can get though. I think Columbians generally grow to the 5ft mark, but if you could get a Argentine they average smaller at about 4 1/2 foot.

They are usually good feeders, but have a reputation for being a bit snappy, but in my opinion they don't deserve this rep. They usually tame down really well and can be great pets.

Royal that eats and loves being handled?- you must have a strange one. Mine doesn't do much at all
