so a friend of mine owns two retics. a normal, 14ft & 40lbs female and a albino calico female, who is 15ft and 71lbs.
he used to have 12ft burmese, which he rehomed because she was too aggressive during feeding time. one day, his wife and his son were feeding the burmese. his wife opened up the door and the burmese shot out of the door, to their couch where she procedded to strike and constrict a pillow. she was coiled around it for 5 minutes before she let go and they got her back into her cage.
another day he was feeding her himself, he opened the cage to toss the two f/t chickens in there and she popped her head out, he backed up out of the way and she struck out about 5ft out of the cage and nearly latched onto his crotch (i guess she was going for the third chicken xD)
anyways, a few friends of his who also own or haved owned both burmese and retics agree that retics are safer snakes and not as..well dumb. and that if a person is interested in getting their first large snake that in their opinion they should choose a retic over a burmese.
so i was just wondering what you burm owners and retics owners think. are retics more intelligent snakes? have you guys had more problems with your burms than your retics? for a person looking to buy a large snake would you suggest a burm or retic?
