hi yall i just got my first redtail and i have to say he or maybe she is waaay more social than my other snakes. anyway "huggy" seems to have alot of pink along his/her sides. is this normal? in the future if i decide to get a second rtb what are qualities that make one more desirable than another?

Pink sides on Boas are fairly common. It's also a very popular, desirable trait. Some people (myself included) seek boas with as much pink as we can get them

What are desirable traits? To me, a nice healthy snake that eats well and doesn't try to chew my face off. Anything else is a matter of personal taste.
