Point well taken. I probably won't get something as big as a retic or burm. I'm just too small of a person to ever handle a snake like that, five other people or not. Nice pictures though. I probably won't ever get anything over 10ft unless I have hands on experience for a while beforehand. Smaller snakes you can work with to get used to but I think there is no time to get used to a large snake. And its a risk I don't want to take just yet. I want to be well informed and experienced before ever bringing a large snake like that into my life.
