lol Caesar is way bigger than Gerald for sure! He fills at least half of a jumbo RBI hide right? Gerald just now fills out a large RBI hide. For scale reference that last pic of him is in a 35-36" long tub with a large hide in it. He's grown substantially in the last year but he's still a tiny tic for being almost 2 years old haha

Ok maybe you're right lol. Yes, Caesar fills half his RBI jumbo hide, maybe even 3/4 as he likes to squish in it and just have his head and neck sitting outside the door haha.

Dude's favorite hobby is absolutely destroying his cage, every single night, starting 3-4 days after feeding and does so without fail until his next meal. Retics... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c227543bf5.jpg

Wow! What an amazing progression thread about Gerald. His contrasting head coloration is so cool and definitely contributes to the uniqueness. Grats to you and thanks for all the updates and pics. :gj:

He looks great.
I'm starting to wonder if Wallace is a retic LOL!

I don't have ANY issues with pushing or cage destruction, he's not overly food driven, however he is growing and doesn't like coming out of the cage.

Honestly he doesn't even produce a ton of waste. Somehow I've ended up with the most mellow group of snakes here.

Is Gerald expected to be on the larger or smaller end of the spectrum?

He is very attractive looking!

I fed Wallace last night.

Is Caesar at the 8 foot mark yet?

He is 2 years old in May if I'm not mistaken.

Wallace is definitely over 7 feet, but not 8 feet. My guess is 7' 4".

I just can't put tape to him yet.


We should all compare notes again this spring and see what's what.

Thanks Albert! Yeah, I love the contrast of his spooky soulless black eyeballs against that grey white and yellow background

Thanks brother!
I expect him to get a little bigger but not much. He's 6', maybe barely over 6' and turns two years old in 3 weeks on March 15th.
He's grown probably ~2.5' in the last year and went from 500grams to ~2300-2400grams. Seems he's packing on more mass than length at this point.
Man, I'd give almost anything for Gerald and Phyllis to be as calm as Wallace hahah! They can be something of a nuisance at times. Gerald is squirrelly coming out of the cage as well unless I he's in the sky hide, in which case I can just slide that out and take him right out no problem.
Definitely don't trust him to roam the room like I do with Phyllis though. He moves much more like a colubrid than her, he'd be gone in a sec

A year ago when I got him he was about 3’6” and just under 500grams. As of a couple days ago he’s grown to nearly 6’6” and now weighs 2676grams. Large RBI hide for scale reference.
