    Re: Future thoughts on burm/retic

    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.
