>>Not to split hairs, but the retic isn't going to be 2x as fat as it is long.



I'm not quite sure what you mean here? Simple geometry...if you take 3 dimentional object and scale it up to twice it's length, it also becomes twice as wide and twice as high...therefore 2^3 or 8 times the volume/weight of the original...



>>They just aren't a fat snake.



Agreed. Fluffy is quite fat for a retic. However I've seen pictures now from two sources of the alleged monster which look like pics of the same snake, so I don't think they are old file photos...and it is FAT!!!



>>Not to mention the fact that snakes kept as pets eat much better than wild snakes I'm sure.



True, but see above.
