Father used to have a 13' retic. Her name was shokura.

She is actually the reason I decided to get a ball python. Unfortunately she died around 5 years ago. From what I remember my dad took great care of her but she just got sick. But anyways, it may have not been the safest thing to have a 13' retic roaming the house but it sure was fun. Funniest story I have of her is that one day while I was taking a shower all of a sudden I see her head pop under the shower curtains. She comes into the tub and takes up most of the shower. I'm mostly comfortable with her but I am VERY CAUTIOUS of a giant snake while I'm exposed in the shower. So she basically takes up most of the tub and I get a small corner. She bit me once when I spooked her. I was coming around a corner too fast and pop right in the foot. But she let go almost immediately, hardly broke the skin. Great snake, I really miss her. Just thought this was the place to share.
