Please, do not buy this snake unless you have done TONS of research and know what you are getting yourself into. Buying a Retic isn't something you should take very lightly. These are very large, very powerful animals when they mature. Think about what you'd be getting yourself into. Can you handle it? Can you provide it with a proper enclosure (it could grow to be 25 feet and weight 130 lbs!) throughout the rest of it's life (which, btw, can be 25-30 years), can you provide it with the proper amount of food (Expect to be feeding rabbits, guinea pigs and quite possibly piglets in adulthood)? I definitely don't want to sound like a negative nelly, but I also don't want you to purchase a snake that you will have to find a new home for in a year or two because you didn't think through your purchase.
