Okay, I know I made another thread on about red tail boas before, but this one is kinda different...I uess.

What type of red tail should I get if I want one the shouldn't get longer than 6-7 feet and will also be calm/docile and easy/safe to handle and show people. I like to show people my reptiles and occasionaly let them handle them to show that snakes aren't evil, bloodthirsty killers that willdo nothing but bite you. :rolleyes: But it wouldn't help things too much if I got out this big boa and it DID end up biting me or someone else. :eek1:
 
Get a definite cbb animal, for starters. AS for the animal itself, make sure it is a BCI locality animal. Venezuelan tend so stay 6 ft or under, but there are plenty of dwarf species out there. As for keeping it friendly and handleable, try hook training it from when it's a baby: that is, when you take it out of it's enclosure, use a snake hook instead of your hand. It helps the animal relate the hook with handling, instead of your hand with food.
 
I'm hoping to get a male near its "max" size so I know it won't get TOO much bigger and so I know it is friendly when it come to handling. :)
