hello!

i have kept large snakes my whole life mostly redtails and a couple of burmese. i have always been hesitant about retics due to their bad wrap as being aggressive snakes. well that of course is a myth and after handling several of my friends' retics, i fell in love. so.. my buddy is hookin me up with one of his 8month old retics. at 8 months she is already 6ft. and gowing fast. i am knowledgeable when it comes to temps, environment, feeding, etc. but wanted to see what advice you guys have for a novice such as myself.

the 8month old girl is very tame and is handled regularly (thats why my buddy recommended her as a good beginner retic). i wanna keep her puppy dog tame, any suggestions?

thank you all!!
