Kalatoa 100% Pure SD Retic Progression (Pic heavy...)

I was so indecisive onwhich one to go with, so I went with the T8 and figured if he out grew it I’d toss by female ball python in it. Gene is a male Dwarf / SD (25% SD & 25% Jamp), his dad was around 7’ and mom was around 8’. Gene is at 19 months and maybe at 4.5’ right now.He still gets a pretty large lump on a medium F/T rat. You think I should just order a larger one and use the T8 for the ball python?

These pictures were taken around Christmas.

Beautiful snake there Stearns. :)

You are a very brave person. There is no way I'd let a "pissing machine" lay on my cloth covered couch! :D

Nice looking but dang he's small. Caesar is 37.5% SD 31.5% dwarf and he's about 5' at 8 months old. His dad was 5' and mom was 8-9'. He's a pig though and always wants dinner.

I put Caesar on my bed although only for a few mins at a time lol. He has never pissed outside his cage although now that I said that, I'm probably going to get pissed on lol.

Here's the most recent picture of him perching on his shelf.

He pooped in the hallway once. Gene is not an overly heavy feeder. Strangely calm for a retic but I'm not complaining. We need to start a basic retic thread so we don't just clutter up specific threads. I take a billion pictures everyday.

lol I don't mind the "clutter" on here. Just keeping up conversations about our tiny giants. :)
Stearns, If Gene is only 4.5' at a year and a half old he's probably fine with a T8. Like you said, if he outgrows it then you can get him something bigger and pass the T8 down to your ball python. Sounds like a good plan in my opinion. I am in hindsight wishing I had gotten something taller for Phyllis but I'll get her a larger enclosure eventually. She's still got plenty of room in a T8 and comes out for exercise a few times a week.
Side note, gene is a dang good looking critter!

Yeah Caesar is really laid back as well but he LOVES to eat. He especially loves quails and chicks. Rats are so-so to him lol. He was eating every 4 days when I got him at 5 months old but I've pushed him to every week now but after about 5 days, he digs around and pushes around the front of the cage,
