This forum has shown up when I googled various topics, but I never joined until today (when I was googling "snake rack how to").

My name's Blair, I live in Southern California with my husband, and a slew of rescue critters (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, cockatiels). We have a pacman frog, a black and white tegu named Spike, five Colombian red tail boas, and 9 corns.
 
wow five red tailed boas??? do I have some questions for you!


Im in the market, for sure. But not five, just one. haha. I just have a little bit of a space issue for the next year or two. I only have room for a 40 gallon, so if it will last in there for a year or two, by the time I need to upgrade, I should be ok with space.

what do you think?

and welcome!
 
Welcome! You'll enjoy this forum. Post questions, comments and suggestions. We love to respond. Post some pictures too.

If you start with a baby, a 40 gallon would be fine for two years or so.

We have a young female who's almost a year old, and she's still fine in a 20. But, we haven't power fed her- so she could be larger, but a 20 should still be enough room.
 
Here's two photos of hatchling #1 from August 2007:





I can't find any more corn snake photos on this computer, so I'll post photos of the adults and the baby snow this weekend.
 
Yeah, we'd never do that. I also remember reeding somewhere that "power feeding" can also mean feeding food that's too large and feeding it consecutively (ie putting item #2 in the snake's mouth while it's swallowing item #1).
 
awesome, thanks for the info. That means that this weekend, I will be the proud new owner of a red tail! very exciting. Ill make sure to post some pictures when hes all settled in. pretty corns by the way.
