KevinK,
I'm flattered you feel Sauzo and I are the "go to" retic guys. We are far from it.
ReptileExperts is the biology major, and experienced keeper on this board and a host of others. I only have 1 retic, a costal carpet, a locality BCI and my son's royal.
My retic, Wallace is far from a giant. He will be 2 years old the 1st of June and is roughly 7 feet long and pretty lean.
I DO NOT feed frequently, yet he's perfectly healthy. Usually every 3 to 4 weeks he eats. I frequent some of the UK. retic boards and many of them think we over feed our animals here in the states. That's another topic, but I have NEVER had a pushing issue with Wallace.
Also keep in mind a lean, healthy 7 foot SD/Dwarf retic is not nearly as large as you may think.
My boa is much larger yet not as long.
Anyhow, my SD/Dwarf with a little % mainland is pretty nice. A little twitchy getting out of the cage but once out he's great.
He will enter a brand new cage in the next month or 2 and removal will be much easier with 2 feet of ceiling space.
