How to keep retics on the smaller side? (Mainlands)

[Dehlol]

I'm not debating a retic is a fantastic animal I have great respect for these animals...all animals...but I respectfully have to disagree that telling someone that has never worked with a snake larger than a bp with a 5 year old son makes a great first pet

So we went from a beginner pet, to suddenly a beginner pet for a 5 year old?

2 COMPLETELY different things. For me, as a 23 year old adult, a retic would be a suitable first time pet. For a 5 year old? A hamster is about it.

You are missing my point...how many people that are looking for a first time reptile know to contact the breeding facility...their breeding facility may be great it may be top notch...but if they can't take care of the animals in their store front and they get neglected then he needs to be more hands on eith his store.

Most of the people who want to buy a retic from them don't use the storefront. They use fauna, kingsnake etc.

The OP was asking for advice on retics. I backed advice given from Jay Brewer at PP, who has tremendous retic experience. The condition of their storefront is irrelevant to the OPs question.
