Hi i am not a retic owner but i have some adult burmese pythons as pets and breeders. I think it is not about age, it all has to do with your commitment. I am only 17 years old and i own 5 burmese pythons and a lot more boas and smaller reptiles. When i was 13 years old i got my first burmese python a lot of people told me not to get the snake and it would be very stupid of me to take on such a responsibility, but i did not care I was young. At the age of 16 i went to learning center so i could graduate early and i did. know I evolved my hole life around reptiles, I work full time at a pet store and turned my garage into a breeding/ reptile room. The only thing is snakes are addicting you will always want more so i would say think about it hard and if you feel you are capable of caring for A retic or burm go for it. I will soon be a regular to this forum i have a few albinos and 100%het retics waiting to hatch so they can join my family, until than i will be at the burm forum.
