It hit me today .. as I was holding our large 17 PLUS foot 3 year old retic.. 165 pounds alone .. (with keepers close by) ..

DAmm thesesnake get big.. lol - I still can't beleive their strengh. MY legs werespread out in order to keep my balance.. still can never get enough of the sheer power.. As i let him go back in his cage, he climbed on a high branch and and use me as a balance and held on tight .. man .. I has every muscle tight on my body ..


Fun times.. best of luck to all who own retics.. theres some really brave ppl out there.. and some no so smart ones lol :)

OH YEHA I got pics.. just waitting for my buddy to send em over.. Ill post as soon as i get em..

lol did not think ppl would enjoy that pic so much

Bazzy Boy .. Hunter is a Female.. she was beleived to be a boy for the longest time but I garantee u she is a female.. size and the lack of spurs.. (although she still has not been probed...)

No. That is right for a Retic. Retics are slender next to a Burm. A burm the same length could and should be larger in girth.
That is one awsome Retic. Gotta love them.
