Why are you taking the piss out of him? There's no need tbh, other people have given advice without being nasty & patronising, why can't you?

is it just me that thinks hes maybe copyed these snakes as it doesnt seem seomthing a 12 year old would come out and say
I was thinking any of these .
1.1 Burmese Python
2.0 Reticulated Pythons
1.1 Dwarf Reticulated Python
whats your opinions .

do you know what the numbers mean lil guy??
i had a burm who grew to 12ft within a year was fine as a hatchling... a bit hissy but by the time she was a year old.. even though i held her every 2nd night she tagged me quite a few times.. if you want a big snake... seriously.. find someone thts got a nasty boa or burm.. ask if they can show you how to handle it... and try hold it.
i was once told years ago if i could pick up a mates nippy bullsnake without being bitten i would be able to handle a snake tht was nasty.. prob totally off the mark but anywho.. you wont listen to any of these oposts coz basicly if you want it youll do oit anyway.. but remeber it will get big quick.. if it bites you and you lose confidence then it will only get worse as it gets bigger, big snakes mean more time, more money, more space.. more TEETH:P

Yeh.. okay then.

I'm not saying that, that's what MOST people are like at that age, since i've been into Snakes, i've seen Burms starved to death simply because the young owner couldn't care for it and it was too big, last time, i had to take one in, Luckily it started eating again, then i got rid, Personally i think Big Snakes are a No Go until you got quite a bit of experiance under your belt, if you get what i mean? What i am saying though, with Burms, they can kill people, thats why i'd advise against one and say get a Corn, they are equally just as fun, some constrict, and they're pleasnt tempered Snakes, tell me of a Pleasent Tempered Retic, not having a go, just stating a point, he should wait until he's a bit more experianced.

Fair enough dude, I apologise for reading it the wrong way.

Mine is the calmest snake I've ever had the pleasure of owning (out of 37 including corns etc.). There's plenty of them out there......gone are the days when every retic was a WC import and narky with it.
