Future thoughts on burm/retic

[drama x]

Well dont let nobody talk you outta getting one. Just plan ahead is all we're saying. Plan out the funds of how much everything will cost including the food, enclosure, etc.

I will agree with ONE thing the OP said.. cage size. There are WAY to many opinions.. even people with snappers burms have there opinions.. I asked retic/Burmese owners at Tinley about cage size. I got FIVE different answers.. even I must say, I'm a little stumped on it...

Remember this.. food adds up. My four balls in 1 month eat what my burm eats in a week two tops. And he's still recovering from his RI. (Putting on some good weight. )

I really don't think a lot of inexperienced people jumping to larger snakes is helpful... the ban may have "stimulated" the sales... but I really don't think a lot of people should own them.. I'm not saying you're bad. Don't take that. But they're A LOT of people out there who shouldn't...

As long as you think ahead and understand I don't know why you shouldn't. If you can house it and care for it.then all power to You.

I'll also say... having a Burmese bite you and coil around you isn't fun. just a fyi...lol

Have you looked into Dwarf or Super Dwarf Retics? Same look and personality in a smaller package. I just picked one up and love working with her. Just a thought. Good luck.
