She's 8 feet? She dosent seem that large. I guess I havent seen very many 8 foot snakes and just assumed they would be giant, as 8 foot sounds very large for a snake.

Definitely near enough. And they get 20+ feet, so that's only a fraction of what she could be.

I hope she gets a good home...she's very lucky to have been taken inside just when temps. are falling so low... My stomach hurts just looking at hers, lol, and I
really hope she doesn't regurge this.

Retics tend to grow quite long and stay very thin up until they turn 18-24 months old. They don't start thickening up and looking massive until after that.

I was mostly asking as I have never seen a 6 ft snake in person so its a bit hard to visualize how big they really are. Retics are huge and something I would prefer to admire from afar Now if there was a boa or even ball python size retic thats a diffrent story

There are super dwarf retics; they get up to 8 ft, I think. A 6ft snake can look small; it really depends on the thickness too. My scrub is almost 7 ft and could almost be cupped in your hands.

I would love a dwarf retic but they are illegal here.
