But with tics i feel like i'm looking at a kaleidoscope, i can distinguish the obvious stuff, but i mean like comparing 2 normals and deciding which one is cleaner or prettier, i'm stumped at this point. Any tips? Not that looks will be the be-all end-all in my search, i'm just trying to expand my knowledge.
For example, i'm looking at a couple of purples on fauna right now, and they are single gene purples, but i cant tell if any are better looking than the others at this point.
True !
Isn't the pattern/patterning where the Reticulated name originates from ??
Same / similar pattern as seen on Giraffes

it is, reticulated (adj) means a having a pattern that is crossed and connected like a net or network. Totally accurate in my opinion, so pretty but so confusing to look at, obviously excellent camouflage.

Hey so in the quest for a big snake, the Burms made some headway today, needless to say they have at least one very enthusiastic fan in the family now

Re: Suggested reading
I am feeling more and more like a burm is the way to go. It just feels like there are more variables behavior wise with the retic than I am really prepared for at this point. But I would love for someone to try and "convince me" otherwise. Not literally looking for someone to hard-sell me on retics, just looking for more points of view. I am in no rush to pick up this new snake so I want to make the right decision.
