Sorry totally off topic! when i was in third grade my mom and her bf took me to speedway pet shop[where i first saw retics] man as a kid i was blown away, begged and begged, they considered it and talk to the store person, the guy was like i wont even handle them myself because they are big time bitters, he was not the main dude just help! but needless to say went home with what i think was a yellow belly ratsnake?not trying to give them a bad rep, i am sure that with proper handling they can be calmed down..just made me think back to my youth! and that retic is super cool looking, wife and kiddies just looked at it and said it looked like it had jewels in its eyes! good luck!!
