I don't want to ruffle feathers, but the original post here has you owning a small boa and then requesting an animal that sounds very similar if not identical to an adult boa. Why didn't you just grow it up?

Also, reading a lot of the replies here confirms my belief that Retics are not for everyone (in fact, probably a very small % of people) and are being promoted aggressively by breeders and future breeders with either a narrow understanding of the average reptile keeper's skills and confidence or are outright trying to sell more animals.

I see a lot of "these guys can be friendly" "these guys can stay small" "they can breed small and live in small cages" from people who own a bunch and are trying to breed and sell them. Then on the other hand I see a lot of "my retic is a psycho and I'm a little afraid" "are you sure I shouldn't feed more often" and "I didn't realize what I was in for" from new keepers.

I'm not pointing fingers or suggesting foul play or anything, but I think this thread so far is a good reference for the frequent question of "I think I'm ready for a bigger snake"
