I agree 100% with you. Retic + first snake= BIG trouble.



Get a ball or cornsnake. Something that can't kill you if you mess up.



You wife's afraid of snakes and you want to get something that REQUIRES more than just you to maneuver???!!!



Scenario:



You just finished thawing a 5 lb rabbit for your 15+ft retic. You decide to take the water container out before you feed to hopefully avert a mess. Well, as a fairly inexperienced individual, you forget/don't think about washing your hands before reaching into the cage.



You smell like RABBIT= hit and coil.



Now your wife, who is terrified of snakes, stands there helpless and can only call 911, not actually help you.



What's the outcome???? BAD.



By the time anyone who knows anything arrives, it could be too late?



Then what????



Just my two cents. I'm not trying to be an @SS...just pointing out things that could happen
