Cow Retics Size

[Bogertophis]

I thought I wanted a Retic years ago until I worked with a breeder. I got over it pretty quick. The rivers of daily to almost daily piss gets old. Some of the snakes were gentle, some insane, especially during breeding season....

Perhaps I was too subtle, but I was thinking about the clean-up when I posted about the reality of "living with one". Large enclosures get pretty messed up- personally, I wouldn't want that much constant clean up for ANY snake, just saying. It truly gets old- it's not 'fun'!

That's a GREAT idea for the OP to meet up with a responsible breeder of these; that's exactly what needs to happen next. All snakes have "pro's" & "con's"-researching them before buying is essential- especially with something like a retic, where you have a sizeable investment.
