I am of no help brother, I would say to go with what your heart most desires! I have no desire to get a retic but would love a burm or an olive python. Whatever you do, post some pictures, otherwise it didn't happen!
yes i know i want one, i have planned who will take it if i have to leave, its enclosure, ive been hanging out with my friend who has burms and retics to try and learn their behavior and handle them. just wondering if one is in fact better than the other.
