I tend to agree with Ed here. A male retic can be a good, but still quite large, compromise if you are willing to put in the work. I find retics much more interesting to work with than burms. They are much more aware of their surroundings, feeding is never a problem, and they look great. As with all things in life there is the dark side. Being as aware as they are, you have to watch yourself, especially around feeding time. Continue to do your homework and, if you can, find someone around you that has MATURE adult animals to spend some time with. Many people spends a few minutes with sub or young adult animals and think that is as far as things go. Retics, even, males, can get pretty darn big.
Good luck,
Josh
