Hey everyone. So I am subscribed to numerous youtube channels to keep up to date with all my favorite snake keeps. Anyways.. I had seen recently that I believe it was Prehistoric Pets posted a video about keeping a mainland retic smaller. It was a female on a clutch of eggs. I believe they had said she was 20lbs. She looked pretty small to me. They said, "we have treated this like a pet. Not like a breeding animal or something to make money off of." I by no means believe in starving an animal to keep it malnourished and at a size you can handle. But she appeared very healthy. I was curious how you would go about this. I read somewhere that they need fed at least every 10 days as babies-juveniles or else they will get really hungry and can become irritated and nippy not to mention malnourished. I would like to get a mainland retic. But I can't handle more then 10-12 feet of snake (I am not even 5'). I have all necessary means of caring for it. I just need to know anybody that has had success with keeping a mainland no bigger then 12 ft.
