I don't know much about this..
but I know adults are usually kept in homemade enclosures that are like rooms almost. Some guy also said he made half of his basement into large snake enclosures..
I hear that their temperament really varies like any other snake, and when not handled can get aggressive.
Well i have 2 babies. All i know from personal experience is that one is a sweet heart and one is a mean Biaaatch. but mind you the mean one is still getting used to handling.
they don't need a huge cage when full grown. mine will have
15'L x 4'w x 4'h
Most of mine are nippy as babys like most snakes but in time they calm down I only have a 2 adults that are mean. I only handle them to clean their cage so there is not much interaction with them. I use 6'x3' visions and 8'x30" neodesha's for my adult's
I have two babies and sometimes they are pissy when first taken out. Once out they are cool. I will say they are different than any other snake I have owned. If you don't treat them with the respect they deserve they will react. I really need to get into the habit of handling them regularly.
Retics don't need a huge amount of space, there are plenty of commercial caging out there that will hold them. Brian of BHB once said that big snakes will find a corner in a huge enclosure and coil up and not use the enclosure.

no, a corner in a huge room. if you provide a cage half the body legnth, then they will be happy.
