Tim,
..A twelve foot Retic will weigh quite a bit under 100 pounds. They really do not seem like giant snakes until they are around 15 or 16 feet and weigh more than 100 pounds. The insular Super Dwarfs at around 9 to 10 feet max are really not such big snakes. I have seen one Diamond Python that was near 10 feet long. All of my Diamonds were extremely tame.
