As i have been studying up on retics. I found a guy that actaully let me come to his house and handle a few of his retics today. One was male which was very mellow. and had a female he let me handle which was alot larger that was kind of flighty. But i think getting hands on experiance with these retics today is the most fun ive hand handling a snake. I think i can actaully see myself working with these guys in the future.
