I'm no expert and would never claim to be and can only talk from my personal experience. I've only had my retic for almost 2 years (this July). But people really need to think especially if they are getting a mainland just what they are bringing into their lives. My girl has not been power feed by any means and she's although she's not 2 years old until the end of this month she is already pushing the tape at 10+ foot and is at the minute in another growth spurt
. When I first got her I could have fed her with my bare hands she was so gentle,but over a couple of months this was to quickly change. Her feeding response went off the charts to the point were most times I'm lucky to get the food into the viv before it's hit and wrapped off the end of the tongs, plus she seems to stay in what I call feed mode for longer than any other snake I've ever owned roughly around 24 hours. Another thing is how active she is she's always exploring trying to climbing up on things and the bigger she gets the higher she can reach. Now all this may sound like I'm complaining right ?. Wrong I love her and wouldn't be without her in fact if I could start over again I wouldn't have any burms I would just have retics, there is just something so special about these snakes the way they move and size they get to that fascinates me. Sorry for the long post but I just hope this helps some one
