I know when getting these animals to look at the size of the parents. I'm going to look for less feisty of babies because I would love to hold out one of these snakes and teach people about them. I'm trying to look more into it but there's not a lot of breeders of dwarfs that I can find online.

But I'm confused. If I get a reticulated python, not a dwarf, and keep it's feeding healthy and controlled it will only get 10 feet? I know people keep their feeding organized because they don't want a 20 foot snake but I didn't think you could keep them that small. If that's so I can look into getting a mainland.

Beautiful snakes and in the second parts they are a good size. I'll look more into it later.

I'm not getting this snake off of impulse. I am completely aware of how much I have to spend, how big it might get, and what it can do to someone physically. That's why I want to know years in advance because I'm planning to build it it's own tank, and that's why I want to talk to this breeder because I want to know if he has these snakes, and what he usually finds in them. Size, temperament, etc.

But I get it, I'm not that old, I shouldn't be making this big of decisions. But I plan to stay where I am. I want to go to local college where I can come back home for the day, so moving won't be an issue at that point. I have literally two friends in real life and I couldn't care less about relationships. I do want a job though because I will need to pay for the snake's food, since I know when they get older, they start eating rats, rabbits, etc. I'm going to be driving next semester and I'm only a freshmen. Plus, Medusa, my BP, is 6 months old, it'll take a while before she needs to be moved to another tank. She's in a 20 g right now and adults can be in a 30 g. I'll have a lot of time to think this stuff through. The problem is with looking in to the future, I don't know what I want to do. I do think I'm going to do something animal related but I don't know what.
