It terrifies me that I can go on Facebook and buy a Retic, Burm, anaconda-whatever with no checks, no questions.

Just daft really.

I'm not necessarily advocating licensing or similar but retics in particular are being over bred to a massive degree. Who's going to buy all these snakes?

There is no doubt about, this is not for everybody! This has to be taken very serious.
Me personally! They don't scare me! I'm 65 with nothing to do but take care of my 3 amigos... And if I die by one I will have a good laugh with god...
