Eh? I didnt mentions balls anywhere lol. I was just saying dont be one of those guys who starves his retic into being small because you wanted a retic but didnt want a large snake.
Ball pythons are a whole different game as those crazy snakes go off food all the time lol. But they do dictate their own feeding schedule too like retics but in the opposite direction. They decide when they quit eating where as retics decide when you WILL feed them hahaha. And then there are boas who throw a whole different curve ball in the game of keeping lol.
And yeah, best thing is just to plan for a 12 ft snake and be happily surprised if it stays 10 ft rather than plan for a 10 ft snake and freak out when it gets 12+ ft![]()
