That's Gene too, he doesn't seem to be getting longer but he is packing on his girth. Gene is a monster when he first takes his mediums, but there is barely a food lump. When I offer him a follow Small, he just slowly grabs it and barely coils.

My boa did this when younger but nothing like Wallace. He doesn't even have food in him today, at least not yet.
I'm guessing they are close in size.
And yeah, Gene,,,, we jump in and out of each other's threads Feel free to pop in and "Gene up" a Wallace or Caesar thread.
Gene will make some really horrible stomach noises sometimes. I feel like he is just waiting to explode on myself or the carpet.
I know we all tried to do a comparison on them with their hides. We need to find something of common size and take updated pictures.

I've only had Caesar's stomach gurgle once on me and I was praying he didn't poop on me lol. Vicky did it more often when she was smaller. Not anymore though.

On a different note, how do you guys prep branches you plan to put in your enclosures? I used to find very dry ones that the bark has fallen off of. I cut it down and sanded it. Then usually soak in bleach / water for 24 hours.
Should I put a varnish or something on it so mr. Pee machine doesn't ruin them?

I don't use branches. I'm pretty minimalist. I have the shelf, water bowl and 2 hides.

Phyllis does the gurgling too if she tries to run back into her cage as I'm getting her out. Only snake I've had that's done that. Never gotten any messy business when I hear that gurgling though.
While we're talking SD retic sizes to some extent... got Phyllis to crawl out straight next to a tape measure yesterday. Only a couple inches shy of 7'. She's getting beastly. Think I'll order her T25 soon lol
