I thought retics were not on the Lacey act, only pending. I'll look into that later when the time is nearing, and when I feel better because ho boy I am sick and I want to curl up and die right now. The one thing I do worry about is the feeding because if I'm successful with breeding live mice, that won't be a problem in the earlier months when it's small, but rabbits can get pretty pricey and it was a lot of money for just the mice stuff, so I don't know about breeding them.

I know by the time I get another snake I'll be working part time somewhere that can get me money for food but there's still a lot of other factors in the world to consider. Gas, medicine, food for myself, etc. I don't think my parents are going to back me up for that long. Hopefully when I get the snake, it'll accept f/t because as much as I like live, it's a hassle to go out to the store and get one, care for them when the snake doesn't eat, etc. But then I'd have to get frozen mice for the snake when it's younger to keep it used to that type of prey, and I can probably find some pet store that'll take in young feeder mice if I breed too many babies.

I'll defiantly try to remember to message you when the time is coming and I think I'll look into getting a mainland retic, just because it's said that they're more likely to be more docile. I have to learn about this USARK program, too.

Thanks.
