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
Thanks,
Brandon

Re: just wondering
well, then you shouldn't buy one. some of us can properly take care of these bigger snakes. and provide propper housing

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.
