Well I knew you had one or more of those but I thought their life span was much longer...I guess the females typically outlive the males.

Nonetheless...sorry to hear man.

Big mamas !! I was holding a retic at a local show last year while checking it out. The wife and I saw a documentary after that which had one in it and it was unbelievable how fast one of those suckers scaled up a tree...a big tree too. It was incredible. The wife was glad I decided not to get one.

I think I saw that one too, I remember a bigger retic flying up a tree. As they get larger they stay on the ground more but are good climbers and swimmers.

Retics usualy arent as fat/heavy as burms and annacondas so they can still be prety agile even at the greater lengths.
