    Re: Craigslist deal - Retic

I am very much for frozen feeders, but if it comes down to it, i will have to do live. I just want to know if there is any true way to get retics on frozen? i know theyre very food driven, but this one particular snake just doesnt like the f/t feeders from what im told. im hoping to change that but it doesnt sound as though the owner has had much luck trying to switch her over.

    In the case that i am unsuccessful in trying to switch her over, i would like to be well prepared for that. I an from the DC area so if anyone knows anyone who breeds rabbits and such please tell me who bc it would be nice to know a contact in the area.

    Thanks guys
    First it's not SD as pointed out so if it not you could hand up with a pretty large animal.

    If you jump from no experience to a 10 feet retic that may not have been worked with on a regular basis, the prey item might be the least of your issues.

    My advice if you want to get into retics get an hatchling and get it from a reputable breeder, a 10 feet female craigslist reject (that's already no as advertised) is not the best idea for a new owner to start with no matter are good the deal is.
