Just came across some photos of bateater pythons, and I gotta say, they're one of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen.

I'm not planning one any time soon, but I'm just curious, what are the differences in care between a bateater and a retic, or a bateater and a Burm? I don't know much about caring for the giant pythons as it is, but I assume they're at least a little bit different. Do bateaters stay closer to a Burm size, a retic size, or somewhere in the middle?

And where the hell did they come up with an AWESOME name like bateater?
