Yeah I kinda screwed up by thinking I was just going to have one retic as a big snake pet....... I was wary of getting a female that hit 13ft but feel confident now.
i should've purchased a cheap female and gone with a high end male. I'm thinking dwarf/super dwarf double co-dom double recessive het to pair with him. Somewhere in the 3-5k range.
Anyway, regardless of paint job he is a friggin awesome animal to have the experience of keeping. I really can see high SDs becoming as popular as BPs. Assuming the laws fade.....
