Difficulties....

Compared to a Burm, Retics are considered smarter, faster, etc. They grow at a more rapid rate. Their intelligence is out of this world. Clean-up is a big deal. These snakes can really go!

Ontop of that, feeding response! Feeding response is what makes these snakes somewhat difficult, and dangerous to keep. They could be the most docile snake in the world, but once they flip into feeding mode, normally anything that moves is considered prey...

I couldn't help you too much when it comes to Retics. Thats more of Ben, and Kara's deal...
