I raised a male red from a 12" baby, very tame, 3 y. o., around 4' and very heavy. Name is Hellboy, and he sure knows it when he's hungry. No issues with health. The problem is that he mock breeds with my smaller BW male, and leaves bite marks, sometimes with a little blood. BW often runs away from the cage and stays in the house. There are 3 issues to note:
1. I don't want to let him go anywhere north of Philly, prefer South, humidity is a major issue. He takes several months to fully shed as is, I used to soak him but seems fine the past year and a half.
2. He shares a 10' by 4' cage with one BW male and is used to roaming around the garage, the cage is always open. He needs a large cage, otherwise it will not work at all.
3. I didn't bother to keep where food comes from a secret from him, so when he's hungry and sees a human, he'll come up and start opening his mouth, waiting to see if anything gets placed there. That's not necessary, he'll eat out of a bowl, but it's wise to be careful around feeding. I usually close the cage, put the food down, and then let him out. He'll eat ground turkey, liver, mixed with cod liver oil or not, and whole foods like rats and birds.
$350 or less, the better the cage, the lower the price.
