UMMM.... No. I have a few of each and yes they are strong but I have a female retic 17 foot, and a male retic 15 foot, and then also a 12 foot burm, and time and time again when i put them in with her to clean cages or breeding, she tosses them around like they are dolls, I do not believe that a 10 foot burm is as strong as a 15 retic, I also believe that a 10 foot retic is not as strong as a 15 burm, but I also think its based not only on size but agression level feeding regiment, and just even basic care.
