I have a few Giant's in the making right now and I also have bp's in my collection. As far as husbandry and housing it's not much difference so far. I have 1.1 granite yellows and a purple albino tiger reticulated python. There only alittle over 4' so there very manageable. When they get to the 7' mark I will have someone with me when I try to handle them. Unfortunately, I plan on selling my granite yellows so I can focus on my clown project. I still want to keep the tic.
I'll need a 8'x4' enclosure if I do keep the retic to adult hood.
