Re: Rainbow is my new SunTiger female reticulated python progression.
I think it is almost time for cage upgrade. She is in a 8ft x 4ft x 4ft but she is still growing. Sure she is good for a while but I know she will need more room as she grows. She is thicker than my arms. So gentle yet heavy. Don't know her weight but 5 months ago was 57lbs. Length is over 14 feet. Downing full grown chickens every 2 to 3 weeks. She shed out last night. She gave me an almost full shed. 3 pieces is as close as she has ever given me.

I think I will never use glass in enclosures again. I had to replace the 1/4 inch sheet glass in Rainbows enclosure this weekend because Rainbow got a little excited about a chicken and plopped half her body against the glass and it exploded into a million pieces. She now has 1/2 inch plex-glass to replace it. So glass was everywhere, Rainbow was in food mode, and she wanted to hang out in her enclosure after eating instead of being removed into her carrying tote. What an adventure. Had to do a full cage cleaning and took 4+ hours to get all the glass out.

I used to worry when I had young ( 7’ Burms and Retics in glass fronted vivs but thankfully I got away with it .
The Burm used to loosen branches in the middle of the night and the banging woke me up occasionally
