The deal with Retics

Candoia Sep 18, 2004 01:06 PM

Hey guys, I lurk here quite a lot and enjoy all the info you guys have on retics. I've been pondering the idea of keeping a retic for a few years (I have had Burms and anacondas as well as many other species) but I am also quite confused about the locales and stuff. I'd like one, a male, that probably will stay under 12 feet or so, that is generally known for good disposition. With all these names like Jampea, super dwarf, and such, it's hard to see the differences sometimes. Please enlighten me. Thanks a lot.

I think a male Jampea would be a good choice. I like male tigers a lot too. The ones I've had have been really calm and easy to handle. Better off getting a male for sure though.
