Sharing! New hatchling retic
Greetings,
just to share my new addition to the family! a normal Hatchling Retic given by a friend of mine, seems to be wildcaught. Its a she btw, with a friendly temperament, calmed down after afew handling session.
What's you guys opinion on the possible locality of it? I'm trying to get a general picture on how shes gonna turn out, nevertheless i love her colours! btw she has a very slight tint of yellow below the chin to neck area too
Here's the pics:
( Ignore the dirty cage, was about to clean it)

Re: Sharing! New hatchling retic
Thanks for the compliment guys! yeap i agree she's gorgeous! :D , i only can assume a "She" since i did a popping test and no hemipenes was seen! I come from South-East Asia so there's a chances that she's WC.
Spent some time today handling her to calm her down after seeing her opening mouth and striking! :rolleyes: , time for more frequent handling.
Her colour was pretty dark today thou :confusd: does you guys retics changes colour into darker/lighter shades too?
Here's two photo i took previously right after shed, hope you guys likes it!

Will you be providing hides for the new Retic ?? Just wondering . ..
This may seem appear controversial and I've mentioned this previously but I've been told , over the years , by a few very experienced people not to give Retics / Burms / Boas hides BUT provide safe places / areas by strategically placed branches . I've had great success following this advice . My hatchling Dwarf SunGlow boa is a lovely little thing now who started off rather nervous and my 7' Snow Boa is the softest , most placid snake I have . There is a belief that hides whilst being great for many species , Royals being a good example are not always the best idea for Retics , Burms and Boas ...
None of my Boas , the Retic or the Burm have hides per-see . ... they just have branches to hide in or behind if they so wish and are all lovely and placid , thankfully :)
