    Feeding Pictures and Size Update
    Hello everybody. Just thought I'd post up a feeding pic or two and just some general pics of my little retics and their size. They are growing up so fast.

    So the big question . . . why call one fire but the other platty? They are the exact same gene lol... just Fire was what Bob Clark calls his platinum mainland tics, meanwhile the rest of the world still calls his platinum :snake:

    All in all, nice bunch of worms. Not too much feed going into those yet. Wait till they are monsters.

    Ya the bigger of the 3 are on two mediums, getting ready to bump them to one large one medium.

    I usually refer to single gene animals as a platinum, and multiple genes as a fire. Picked up the habit from a few other retic breeders. Motley fire, fire tiger, etc, and a single would just be a platinum. I dunno, no real reason lol. Some of these are PP animals and some are BC too, but I don't refer to them in accordance to that lol.

    But ya I figure they will be on rabbits within 6 months no problem. My lav tiger female would gladly take three six pound rabbits like nothing. Might bump her up to 10 lbs rabbits sooner than later.

    Thank you! I do love the crud outta these snakes. My platty female is nutso when it comes to feeding lol. After her second medium she still flew out of the tub about 2 ft waiting for a third. So I gave her a left over small lol. Still hungry. Massive feeding response with these guys and gals

    lol fair enough. Just curious. BC tried to say his line of Platty was special and thus refused to call them like that, and only referred to them as Fire. . . then all of a sudden when he started offering the SD Platinum, he stopped calling THOSE fire, but still retained mainland as such? Then admitted they were ivory compatible . . . oh bob. . .

    But yeah, I pushed my goldenchild one night to see what all he would eat. . . . that number was crazy. and I couldn't believe how stuffed he was - at just under 4 ft, he demolished 3 med rats and 1 small. I have a pic somewhere . . .

    I'm thinking of trying that with the three juvies I have. The FT, the Purple SF, and the Platty. I know all three would take 2 larges and a small at one time. I just don't wanna plug em up lol.

    I keep them at the top of my 41qt rack and they have more heat than the rest. About 90° ambient. Makes em super hungry and poop super fast. Usually they evacuate in about 4 days. But i give em breaks here and there so I'm not pushing their growth too hard. All kinda a feeding plan utilized by the breeder I got them from, and he has been very successful with his growth, breeding, and lifespan of his retics. All very strong and very healthy
