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

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
