    I personally wouldnt, since he could easily bail and then leave you to care for a bunch of hungry baby retics.

    This is true. That would be a massive undertaking. One I am not prepared for.

    Re: Has anyone done this?

    There is a vendor I see sometimes that does something similar with his sales tactics. He tells people to buy these small snakes (baby retics) and keep them till they get too big to handle. Then you can breed it. He will take your eggs and big snake and give you a new baby retic. So basically you are buying a snake, spending money to raise it then supplying him with a breeder size snake plus all the eggs........That is if he is even good on his word of taking the snake back and giving you a baby. Most of his customers are ill informed and have no idea what they are getting into taking on a baby retic.

    The breeder is someone I know personally and hope he would never practice like that. I purchased the snake online. He and I was just casually talking about it.

    I'm not saying the person you know is doing that but saying I've seem something similar. Really he probably just wants access to another breeding female. Females are always more valuable than males because they are the ones that lay eggs and he did offer to buy the eggs.
