hi i have a baby retic and it's 3' and im feeding it 1 small rat a week, and i was told that i can feed him/her a jumbo rat once they hit 4'. is that a good idea? also will a 8'x3'x2' lxwxh viv be big enough for tic? and in a few months im thinking of getting a baby sula retic which can get 20', whould a 8'x3'x2' be ok for one of them?, ive been told by bo clark that it is ok but i just wanted to know what you gies thought. thanks

We'll man I myself dont agree with the cage size, alot of breeders do tend to keep alot of stacked "cages" for more room for more breeders. I dont think a 20' snake should be kept in a box 8'L and only 2' tall, just doesn't seem right. Yeah it doesn't seem like snakes move alot but thats why you have locks on the enclosure because they do explore. And about the feeding size a 4' retic shouldn't be eating jumbo rats thats kinda large meal size, I would go with large mediums for a couple sheads. Hope this helps
