they dont all get huge... males can usually stay about the same size as a scrub python (yes that is still too big for some people to manage).... food is a big factor in growth... although retics grow their whole life... you can usually keep them from getting 20ft (all depends on parents genetics and food). i have 2yr old males that are still under 10ft and eat like twice a week... on the other hand i have female retics that will eat everyday if i let them.

...but who cant have at least one 20ft (*insert morph here*) retic in their shop or collection?

oh ya thanks for the welcome... i have a lot of retics... mostly females.

i think i am at 14 retics total.

there is actually a slight physiological advantage to being big if your poikilothermic...

surface to volume ratio is larger, therefore less metabolic energy is lost from the body into the environment - that means bigger meals, less often.

life (in biological terms) is all about conserving energy, in a energy draining world.

ignorance and fear... thats too bad. all it takes sometimes is one person to ruin it for all the others...

i think educating the public about all reptiles is the key. there is so much to learn.
