Gene finally has a thread!

Ran out of Jumbo rats so last week Gene had one of Tina's mediums. Well this was the next day, he flipped his water dish over that flipped it back. Placed an order for 25 jumbo and 15 mediums for $120. Gene will need to make it until Saturday night now.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e7fb435322.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d43df7ebf8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...29994c18fb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...436c98a490.jpg

Think when I'm done with these Jumbos, I'm switch to rabbits. Not a bad deal, but I was that idiot who had a big bag of rats while everyone else had like 3 - 5 rats. Here I am with like 45.....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7c88b97eb5.jpg

Check out cold blooded cafe. Their shipping is more than big cheese but they have huge “mammoth” sized rats around 600grams or more for $3 each. That’s where I ordered my last rat supply from. Well packaged and good looking rodents

I'm going to have to look into them. Jumbos don't even put a bump in him anymore.

He is such a handsome fella, love that picture priceless :gj::snake: thank you for sharing and best wishes always..

Very quick to respond on FB. I reached out to them on there and then made an order and had it all later that week

Gene is such a weirdo, we had a good 2 hour front yard session. Plus he keeps the obnoxious neighbors away.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...43338fc317.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...41631d7006.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...69d69d0c77.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b7226b7683.jpg

Ha I hope not. This dang tree drops them all summer. I have 8 more big trees in the yard, I'm not looking forward to fall.

Getting annoyed with the water dish issues! Again today, I'm going to let his mulch be soggy today and will deal with it tomorrow. I need to make a 7'enclosure, going to build it in the spring.

Was cleaning Gene's enclosure and him and my oldest had a bonding moment. Ava really only enjoys Tina, but I think its love. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...900b1789f1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e13af10c36.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f6feb8199c.jpg

He looks great, and the pictures are cute.

I'm starting to wonder if Wallace is actually larger than Gene.

My guy kind of put on some size as of late. I'm really not wanting more size.

Keep the Gene threads rolling.

OMG he's sizing her up for dinner!!!

It's really cool when your hobby can be a family affair.

Brought Gene upstairs tonight, don't want to clean up pee on carpet in the basement. He is such a sweat boy, just ducks, feel like ever since we bought the house the snakes are on the back burner and I hate it. Glad he came out for an hour.

Weighed him tonight, 19.4lbs!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a93aada29f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0376d1023c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e883a15b58.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9680874dae.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2273699ab0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...42413612e7.jpg

that face is to die for! :oops:

Gene shed Monday morning so he had the run of the house while I cleaned his enclosure. Made it upstairs twice, usually just hung out on the banister.

Don't pay attention to the gross wall colors, we haven't painted the basement yet.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ec185ca863.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...719704a6b5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b01e832e64.jpg

Yea I know tell me about it. He doesn't push but he takes up a little less than half the floor space. I want a big enclosure for him but this damn house has put a huge damper in money. Looking into a furnace and hot water tank in the spring. Plus gutter guards flooring blah blah blah.

I can only imagine the time and money you’re putting into the house. Well worth it I’m sure.
You’re a lucky dog that he isn’t much of a pusher. If he’s content and not causing trouble then who’s to say he “needs” a bigger enclosure?

Gene looks great and congrats on the new home!! Be blessed!

Gene looks awesome, I love that pick of him going up the stairs.

He looks really great gio

Sweet [emoji1362][emoji1362][emoji1362].
Question, I noticed you have a nice rug, have you ever had a incident where he’s Peed a lot and had to clean it? I bought a rug doctor just because the Burms piss a lot of liquid... have you had to deal with using a certain rug cleaner to get the smell out?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks wonderful for sure. Such a beauty.

Had Gene out for almost 2 hours today after work. He just chilled upstairs with me, strange when you don't need to worry about him getting lost, you almost forget he's out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cdc47c2343.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4ebf788c93.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a3b6eb0c39.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0d1d5e0084.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...92effafa0c.jpg

I am always paranoid letting them roam, even looking at the pics I was thinking 'omg what if he tried to get under the stove?!' lol

Really great pics

I agree, he looks great. I'd get in so much trouble if I had a snake on the table though. :colbert:

I love seeing Gene out Free Ranging.

Most of my snakes would clear that table within seconds. They think that they were put on earth to break as much of my stuff as possible. :)

Phyllis thinks it is her purpose in life to act as my resident bulldozer. She’s knocked bobble heads off of shelves, knocked picture frames from the wall and broken them, snapped a set of window blinds, pushes the coffee table across the living room, tries to destroy my house plants... gotta love her!

Agree totally! In fact, my picture frames are Carpet Python Magnets! :taz: My Boas will try to yank them off the wall, but never actually supporting oneself climbing on them like the Carpets do.

Switched back to reptichip and it's been great since fall sucked out the humidity in the house. Gene had a super long roaming again while I cleaned his enclosure. He made it from downstairs to the upstairs then took the short cut back down. Dude has control, made it down the ledge with zero effort or slamming tail.

He spilled his water dish again and he is miserable, he hates super wet substrate but I cant dry it so it's his own fault. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0aec382a4b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...581f69f43e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...85d9cbecce.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...73124bfdca.jpg

Been beating around the Bush about getting a new enclosure for Gene but I cant do 8'and I'd rather have 7' (wall length). Found some glass at my parents house, so I'm tossing around the idea of building my own enclosure. I'm relatively handy with wood working, and it will be a million times less expensive than buying something that size, just tired of seeing him in the T10.

The only real tricky part is designing the doors but even that wouldn’t be too bad. It’s basically just a box with windows, albeit a very large box. Keep us posted. I’m interested to see what you build if you choose that route


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went against the idea of building my own. I realized I'd be pissed if in a year it rots because the seal doesn't work. So I ordered a T4. Looks like Gene will be rocking a 7' enclosure come February!

T4 from Animal Plastics? Those are only 36" long. Maybe I missed the point and you are going to glue them together. ???

Gene is in a T10 right now. The wall I keep him on is just over 7'. AP makes 6' and 8' but when is all said and done, it would be a small fortune with shipping and I'd have to settle on a smaller or larger enclosure than I want. So I'm going to make a router jig so I can duplicate the openings on both the t10 and t4. So he will now have 7' of floor space.

OK got it. Lucky Gene, he'll be happy :D

Can’t get over Gene’s color. I’ve not been around many retics, but none I’ve seen that size had the day-glow yellow.

Gorgeous. Impressive size now too. Awesome!!

He's looking great! Seems like he really has a thing for the stairs.
