Oh man that snake on the swing set. My so. Would go nuts.
Gorgeous snakes man. I’ve always loved them. I’m just not so sure I could properly handle them

Get one as a baby, and it will grow with you. By the time it’s big, you won’t be afraid of it, and the retic will consider you a safe place. I would take Tigger out all the time by myself. Most of the time, I would just use a hook or pick the first half of her up and director her in the direction I wanted her to go.
Plus, the Tiger morph, in my opinion, is the tamest of the retics and is the prettiest pattern.

I wouldn’t say I’m afraid. More like I lack the confidence to know I can keep them under control. My wife on the other hand…
Although she was holding 2 snakes today. That ship has sailed.

This is one of the reasons why I really want one day to be able to get a retic. Since I was really little, I was always captivated by their size, but also their ability to be magnificent animals. And I agree with you, tiger is the best lol

Same! I remember our local zoo had a huge wild-type female with lots of yellow and white in her pattern and gorgeous oil-slick iridescence. She was my favourite exhibit at the zoo, I was probably about 6 years old when I first saw her. I remember thinking she was the most magnificent animal I’d ever seen. I’ve been smitten with retics ever since.
