My retics were all stupidly food aggressive when young. My daughter did a science project on a few of ours from age 3-6 months old where she tracked the weights of each feeder they got, and then we weighed the snake after each bowel movement, to see how efficiently they were digesting. About 33% of what they ate became snake; they grow insanely fast when young.

I can handle the SD and 50% SD's by myself, mainly because if they need an enclosure clean-out I have an empty tub to secure them while I clean. The mainland critters are too big for that so they are a two-person job, even if one person just has to babysit the snake while it free-roams the house, to ensure it doesn't disappear under a bed or behind the piano.
