Well, a couple things come to mind. First off I do not own a retic but do you plan on going to college. Because if you do what are you going to do with it while you are out. No dorm rooms will not let you have one. And I doubt your parents will let you as a frshman get a apt. But if you do get one, you need to get a vision cage and buy a lock for it. That way it wont get out. You know I am 27 years old and on my own and my Dad said the same thing ( I have a Burm), they still try to tell me that it will get out and eat my dog. I don't doubt that it could not happen, and it is a risk that you take by bringing it in the house but I would say for you, to get a boa. See how you do with that and then go to a retic when you have an established home on your own. A retic is a big commitment, not that I think you can't have one but, they get huge. If you do get one I am sure people in here will answer any questions you have.
