Pretty important points brought up already.

I'd like to add that this is a 10+ year time investment your taking on. So do you have folks that for 10+ years can be there everytime you interact with the animal? This isnt just handling, this is any interaction.

Super Dwarfs that are 100% from Travis Kubes are like $300-500 so thats pretty cheap as snakes go. Also as an above poster mentioned, that mainland might be $100 or less initially but in the end your talking lots of big rabbits and a 10ft cage for females. I'm sure someone on here knows more then I do but I think a 3lb rabbit is like $7-12.

Of course, personally i dont really dig the super small retics. I like retics in the 8-13ft range which still command tons of respect, you can never allow yourself to forget what the animal is capable of should it choose to.

I totally dont mean to put down your idea of getting a retic, they are very rewarding animals but there is a lot more to consider. It looks like your taking the initiative to ask these questions though .
