Ok she didn't say she was going to get them NOW. I want a retic but that's years down the road. Plenty of time to do research. You guys are acting like she wants to go out and buy them this week. Pretty sure she was talking more about an eventual plan after everything has been lined up. She even specifically said future loves not right now.
And retic doesn't always mean 20+. Semi and super dwarf? And I'm along the same thought process as Kodieh. My first boa is a baby. Now I'm sure I'd be a little.. not finding the right word.. overwhelmed? to just buy a 9/10 foot female to start with and handle as my first non BP snake, but I got her as a baby and will get used to the size and mannerisms as she grows and I handle her all her life.
