Female burmese do not get to 18-20ft on average, baby the burmses again was quoted as 27 foot but measured shortly after her death at 18 foot 10unches and that at the moment is the known record for a burmese.
Most people dont appreicate how much bigger an 18 foot retic is compared to an average 15-`16 footer. i have a 15-16 ft 6 year old female retic and she is dwarfed by 18 footers both in lengh and girth. very few female retics get over 18 foot, i have two wild caught sumatran retics and hopefully as they are the biggest locale will reach over 18 foot but even then theres only a small chance.

Sumatran or Sulawesi? Everyone I've spoken with said Salus get bigger. Regardless do you have pictures of yours? I would love to see them. Got a source for your claim that fluffy was only about 20? I know of 3 retics currently that IMO need to get measured because all three look very close to the 24 ft mark if not over.
I agree with everything else you said though, did you have a chance to read the article in the first thread?
