Wow i feel stupid that I didnt catch that lol. Yeah, you need to either lose it or put a guard on it asap. If that snakes touches that CHE, it is going to be in a world of hurt. And retics are very curious and love to see if stuff can hold them. At least Caesar is like that to my dismay most of the time lol.

Words of wisdom, retics are sometimes not the sharpest tool in the shed. You gotta reticproof everything. Make sure there is nothing they can get stuck in too. I had Caesar get stuck in a loop on a plastic plant when he was a baby. I have since learned anything with a closed circle in it is a no no. Just like tape in the cage or exposed heat sources or unregulated heat sources. I swear, retics just look for ways to break or destroy stuff lol. Caesar also shoved his Acurite gauge in his water bowl 2 times. I am surprised it still works after just letting it air dry on top of the cage for a few days. Ironically, the Acurite in Rangos cage took a dump and the display is half gone and Rango doesnt even touch his gauge :confusd:

I sound like a jerk which is why I didn't say anything before, thought maybe the photos were just bad or weird or something but I'm glad you finally found a better vet.
:gj:
I took her because I have no experience with the issue. The herp vet I took her and my girlfriends RTB to seams to know her stuff. I wonder if the scale will correct itself with a good shed? Anyone have wisdom here?
I would post photos but she is still in food coma after eating 2 quail chicks and a medium rat. She hasn't moved out of her hide in a couple of days except to drink. I am holding off on handling her till she becomes more active again. If I had my guess, this is the first time she is not hungry. I don't plan on feeding her that much all the time but was a nice treat for her.
Thanks everyone! Hope to have more photos this weekend.

They are more active than all the others I have. My girlfriends RTB is not as active. Love her so much though.
Re: Rainbow is my new SunTiger female reticulated python progression.
New paint job after shedding. Her hide is getting to small already. She lifts it up when she curls up inside of it. Then she sticks her head out to look. I took an oil pan and made her hide out of that. It's time for something bigger though. She's had two feeding sessions with me. One right after I got her and then I was on last week. I have a feeling now that she's being fed properly she's going to grow quickly. 7 more weeks before I put her in her enclosure. After that she'll be out of quarantine. I did notice her looking for food this morning as she rearranged her enclosure last night.
