Cow Retics Size

[Bogertophis]

If it's just about admiring their beautiful appearance, hey, I get that- but to me, some large high-quality photographic posters would fill the bill much better, & then have the snakes that I can manage & live with comfortably as my pets. The larger these snakes get, the harder it is to find responsible (fearless + snake-experienced) friends who are available at all hours when something arises where you need back-up help with one. Just saying... So many people with good intentions over-estimate their ability to handle their giant snake "pets", & underestimate their snake's strength & instincts to do the "unexpected". We truly don't want to read about you in the paper...ok? I think you also mentioned being single, so that's another thing you should think seriously about: if you plan to stay that way for life, fine, it's your choice, but if you hope to meet a "significant other", a giant snake just might be a deal-breaker. It's asking & hoping for a lot from a partner, you know? Just something else to think about. When you are a serious snake-keeper, there are 2 kinds of people in the world: those who would pay $ to visit you & look around, and those who would pay good money to stay far away! Most people are in the second group.
