First large constrictor?

Personally, I happen to think retics are the most beutiful, but i do get a little nervous about temperament as i have kids who might not be able to "read" them like an adult could so it seems like the general even tempered burm might be a safer bet.

If you love retics get one. They do not have a bad temperament, as you said you know it all depends on the individual animal. You could get a very defensive burm same as you could get a defensive retic. Burms in general are just a lot slower moving, but retics in no way have a bad temperament most captive bred retics are sweethearts. With kids you would have to take the same precautions with any large snake, a proper high quality cage being number one. You just need to know your animal.
