Yeah, I was wondering too. I have no intentions of underfeeding. The reason I want a retic is because of their explosive growth rate. It's amazing to watch.

Agreed a retic's growth is amazing to watch but once that growth rate slows and you have an 18 ft snake with another 25 years left to live. Then what? Think long term. Also an 18 ft retic is stronger than anything you have ever dealt with. The food needed gets expensive. Rabbits, guinea pigs, fetal pigs. Not cheap. Jumbo rats at 8-10 ea per meal. Think about it.
