ahhh ok, actually thanks for the long response, i have looked up on them before and haven't heard many statements about their behavior except one who said they don't make good pets. also when i went to purchase my corn snake the lady who worked there was showing me all the snakes and she went t fetch a red tailed rat snake and as she opened the enclosure she struck 3 times to her head.. clearly it was under alot of stress though, had no hide and was on plane newspaper.
good to know though! i have plans for an arboreal snake and was aiming for something smaller than a boa so i was wondering.
thanks! they are beautiful
