Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Adult male? Adult female? What locality? Dwarf? Colombian?

*facepalm* sorry i forgot to include any detail lol. Columbian Red Tailed Boa and I don't really care the gender besides how I think anything over 8.5 feet would be quite large. I know that females are larger which is why I was thinking male, but I'm not sure how common the 10-12 footers are? So I guess while I'm asking it would be good to know the sizes for an adult male and an adult female's cage.

Actually now that you mention the hog island, could you tell me the cage size for those as well? Those are also quite nice.

4x2x15+
Oldest largest male colombian I have is 14yrs old, he's about 6' and most likely less than 15lbs, eats a jumbo about once a month. Oldest 'dwarf' is an 11 yr old hog isle, he's maybe, maybe... 5' and gets a med or small once a month, he is in a 3x2x2.
edit - add pics, these are the ones I am talking about to give you an idea:

Is that your pure hog isle, April?
If you're going to do. Hog/dwarf locality, make sure you get it from a trusted name with lineage behind their animals.

the GTPs I had a long time ago were not very handlable however I've seen some that are
I know the pic isn't great but I've seen him at many shows and he has the GTP out for hours and it is very friendly and calm
I would not recommend an ETB (and deff not an ATB) as a 'friendly' tree snake, carpets are a good choice IMO

Thank you for all of this info guys! It's been so helpful, and I'm glad to hear that the reputation GTPs have seemed to earned isn't as true as it seems. Actually I just happened to come across a man having to rehome his Red Tailed Boa in my state that's a 5 foot male who comes with his 125 gallon cage and everything in it, so I think I might go take a look at him if he is still available! What a coincidence lol. There's never too many reptiles being sold around where I am.
