Yeah I actually wanted a retic for a long time, probably as long if not longer than I wanted boas because the old reptile shop when I was teenager, the owner had retics and burms as pets. I couldn't keep snakes at my parents' house so I ended up buying a hatchling Nile monitor from him as he had eggs that hatched. Really miss my monitor as he was a giant puppy dog but he outgrew my ability to provide for him so I ended talking to the owner and he found him a home with a guy who had lots of monitors and had rooms in his coverted to cages with the doorways being a sliding glass door lol. So he went to a good home.
But I was kind of scared of owning a retic because of their size and their food drive I've read about. But after taking the plunge with Caesar my SD, I love retics. I mean I'm not sure Caesar is the norm as he is my only retic but he is as mellow as my boas. And yeah they are definitely curious and always want to see whats happening.
