just a side note though. if you really want a retic and know what your getting in to "join the force" and rescue one. pm me if your interested in rescuing one.
Didn't know there were retic rescues, I didn't think they got dumped as often as the more common Burmese. I'd rescue a retic, but I'd have to get started cage-building...great snakes if you've got the experience to care for them properly.
all of the retics i have are rescues, they are very often bought by people that think they can handle them, one year later and ranging from 7 to 10 feet long the people change their mind.
