Absolutely, retics are a much bigger responsibility then many snakes the sure size means bigger food, huge enclosure, and more time to get everything they need and deserve , plus the biggest PUBLIC PERCEPTION! Have a poor mannered ball, corn or maybe some carpets no one cares throw reticulated or Burmese in front of the python they are monsters and what idiot would want to keep these monsters? By no way knocking you, there are so many reasons to love them the way the move , the colors, their intelligence, their scales (like a legless dragon) their faces, temperament I could go on all day. Please use the old say "Measure twice cut once" in other words if you know exactly what you want you see the road ahead for the next ten twenty years you do you, best wishes always. I every time I see Ceasers thread grin and then go to Morphmarket and dream of one day hold a snake as prefect as he is the struggle is real!
