I agree with you about needing to take things lightly and enjoy a good poke in the ribs every now and then. I was also joking with him. If you read carefully you will see my response to his next post.
I know a large retic will be $$ and time and energy to care for. I know I have a lot to learn but don't we all? I hope to grow with Rainbow and look forward to building her a fantastic enclosure in my new house I am buying later this year. I am at a point in my life where my only responsibility out side of myself is my pets and have devoted my life to their care, love, and health.
I hope to use Rainbow (as long as she is ok with it) to do educational shows. It scares me to see so many people acquiring cute babies but not understanding the mass and strength they have full grown. My respect for her is as huge as her personality and trust me she has personality. I love my other snakes but she is by far the quickest and most energetic and interesting to handle of all my snakes.
