In her temp cage right now, but just wanted you all to see my new tiger het purple girl. She's got some stuck shed and is a little underweight but those are both easy to fix. [emoji2]

No more stuck shed [emoji2]

Congrats. Retics are the best!!!!!

She's awesome and such a different animal from my ball pythons or my burm. She's a little thin as the guy I got her from had his friend watching her for a while and he obviously wasn't taking very good care of her. Feeding day is this Saturday though and she'll be getting a couple jumbo rats as I have yet to find a local Rabbit breeder that doesn't want an arm and leg for their bunnies.

Awesome. She is a little skinny but if her appetite is like most retics then that will be a very easy fix. :)

She's gorgeous! Hubs won't let me get one until a couple kids move out >.>

Congrats, retics are a lot of fun to keep.

just an observation, but are you keeping / planning to keep, your new retic in a glass tank? :confusd:

@reptileexperts no not at all I'm putting together a custom built cage for her. She won't be in there very long at all. I know glass cages are a hugely bad idea with retics. Thanks for all the comments, the guy I got her from said she's got a great feed response. I'll find out tomorrow when I feed her.

I have to ask why you didn't have the appropriate cage ready before bringing the animal home? Not trying to attack you, but mistakes like this could have very bad consequences. I hope that the cage doesn't have a normal screen top.
