What to get at reptile expo

you might have, however what people don't take into consideration is that burms are somewhat hardier snakes than retics. Retics require consistently higher temps year round to survive, temps that florida can provide during the spring, fall and summer, but come winter its difficult. This previous winter was tough on the invasive burmese population, I can't imagine what it did to the retics. In addition, the pairing often produces slugs, however IF the babies make it to breeding age, they would then be able to breed with both regular retics (producing jungle retics) and burms. People are worried about them expanding north of the everglades, but it simply won't happen without consistent global warming resulting in consistently warmer Florida winters.
Bateaters aren't some "super snake" as the sensationalist media would have you believe, they're smaller than retics in length but heavier bodied, but not nearly as heavily bodied as burms.
