So I want to get a new snake. I'm stuck between four different types, reticulated being one of them. I have a ball python now, and I used to help my sister care for her snakes. I'm stuck between Reticulated Python, Red Tail Boa, another BP, or a Western Hognose so for the time being I'm trying to collect as much info on each snake as I can before I decide. I don't have anything specific in mind, I kind of want something bigger (the exception being a hognose) but I'm not sure yet.

So far what I have on retics seems pretty similar to BPs which might be a big pro for them, but I could be incorrect. I just did some google searches of care sheets and this is what I've got.

Life Span: 15-20 yrs
Length: 10-20ft
Adult Housing Size: 2' tall x 3' wide x 6-8' length
Temperatures: 82° cool side 92° hot spot
They need hides, and I can use coconut fiber for substrate.

I couldn't find the humidity requirements, and I could be completely wrong with the information above since the Internet isn't always reliable so any information and tips on keeps them would be great! Thanks.
