Zig,
Keep in mind BIG doesn't always mean long I'm sure you know that. The same reason the anaconda beats out the retic as the "largest snake" is the same reason my boa makes my longer SD x Dwarf retic seem like a jump rope by comparison. At least right now.
Sniper is a male boa, and typically male boas are smaller but they can get to female sizes when certain circumstances are present.
Honestly I think you are best off getting a boa of some type and a retic of some type.
They are so different but both just fantastic to own. Honestly I juggle favorite snakes here daily, minus the royal, sorry I'm not into them, but of the other 3 here I can't pick a favorite.
Right now this guy is blowing me away.
He's almost 7 feet and in excellent condition and health.
