Re: Gene finally has a thread!
Think Gene is starting his shed cycle. He always gets crazy iridescent a few days before.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2e6772b986.jpg

I have 4 - 5 mediums left, I can't wait to get him on larges. Comical smalls don't look to small next to the normal mediums I get. But they look like mice next to the Large rats.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2878940d69.jpg

I second this! Gene will have no problem with large rats. Phyllis just had a 300gram rat the other day and smashed it no problem. But she's also 2200grams+ and 7'. Gerald is about to graduate to medium rats from smalls too. I'd bet you could have gene on larges every 10 days and be A-okay. Phyllis still pushes after a week or so but has chilled out a bit after realizing that she's still not getting fed until day 10-12

I figured I should get started making the stand for the enclosures since they should ship I'm the next 2-4 weeks. Never realized how much pallet wood varied I'm thickness. Sorted and cut what I needed. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...90dc69b386.jpg

Re: Gene finally has a thread!
So I had my first "real experience" with a retic today. Kendall (girlfriend) wanted to take her daughter out for her birthday invitations today. So I packed up the snakes and put them in pillow cases and went to the local park and went I to the field. Tina was at home in the grass. They took pictures and as any ball python does, she did great. Gene was around my shoulders, as soon as I put him in the grass he freaked out! It's like he found a mound of crack and smoked it. 6'3" of our crazy. Once he saw my hand he climbed up and would let go until we got home. So I took a picture before we got in the jeep. Btw, he is starting to go into shed.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...08aaabd88f.jpg

Be glad he didnt get all defensive and try and bite. I've heard of that happening too. The snakes brain like flicks a switch and it reverts to a wild version and goes all native on you lol.

It actually shocked me. I pulled the paper towels out if the tubs and put cypress in their tubs. He tried to stay until of his hide but eventually went on it. I hope to make baby steps with him to get him comfortable outside.
