apparently they put satan in a big viv as a display piece and shed wouldn't feed and i soon as they moved him back he started feeding again well that's what brain said on one of the episodes |

i wasn't really a fan of retic's until my friend had one come into his rescue center it was 12ft when it came in an not exactly friendly, took 3 of us to hold him while removing an eye cap an 2 of us struggled to unwrap him from my mate's it's arm one seriously strong snake.
fluffy is now around 14ft an very docile but can be hard work holding him as is always on the move.
think it was meeting fluffy that inspired richard to get his retic.
im no longer a fan of snakebytes due to the discusting way they keep satan the big burm |

Snakebytes did a retic special on Wednesday. They really are amazing animals. One of my favourites but not a chance of ever owning one (yet) |

Yes it makes you jump a bit although i think its only twice hes gone for me an both times he was aiming for my face the other time he nearly had me was a mental feeding responce where he missed the rat an shot over my hand by about 1/2".
I now drop feed him and the burm to reduce the risk of a feeding responce bite
I love hypo burms there another on the to get list |

2 Afrocks under one roof very brave Chris 
Their not as bad as people make out athough there are some mental ones about.
Byron is CB an most of the time he is just like a very active/noisy burm but will have a pop at me now an then.
I plan to get a scrub one day |

The thing stopping me getting a retic is mainly the size as im not really in secure/permenant housing, moving with the burm an afrock wont be too much of a problem but moving with a potentially 15ft+ snake an viv could be a problem.
When i do get one i want one of the big locals or a golden child.
Also to complete the set of big pythons i would also need to get a scrub python, planning to get a female afrock at some point aswell |
