    Dude has been building some mass recently. He’s going to look great in Phyllis’s cage once her new mansion arrives. Long overdue for a cage upgrade

    Wow he makes Wallace look like a little tiny fella.

    Gerald looks great and I love his head.

    I look forward to seeing him in Phillys’ cage.

    I don’t know... I’d bet he’s comparable to Wallace. I’m not a big guy, 5’4” 135lbs so Gerald looks bigger by me.
    He’s going to feel so spoiled in that T25 haha!

    He looks great. Thickened up for sure. How long is he? How much longer do you think he will become?

    He’s about 8’ and probably topping out

    He’s awesome!!

    Hope you are doing well man. We’ll have to catch up on things once you get the new cage in.

    He actually just barely tagged me for the first time just now. Surprised the hell out of me but he was acting unusually twitchy while he was out just now so I read that as a sign to put him away. Was putting him back in his cage and he just nicked my thumb but I could definitely see how a more serious/deliberate bite could be trouble. Only one good tooth snag but it bled and quickly at that
    He’s clearly very interested in breeding; arching and cruising all over, most notably since his last shed a couple days ago.

    I think moving into Phyllis’s soon to be old cage soon will help (maybe ever so slightly) but I’ll also expect that he’s just going to be a horny, twitchy, spastic Male retic. Once
    Phyllis heals up maybe I’ll try pairing again but that’s only once she’s doing well.
    They are definitely a very assertive species. If you know your animals you can absolutely tell when things are about to head south

    Still can’t get over that setup! It looks so nice!
    And he’s a gorgeous snake. Good thing he didn’t nail you! I’ve yet to be bitten by any of my snakes (I’ve been bitten before, but not from any of mine). I figure it’s a given it’ll happen sooner or later, I just hope it’s not a full grown retic bite. I’m really cautious with him though, just because of the potential he has. I’m REALLY hoping he stays so chill and doesn’t turn into a :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: once he decides he should be breeding.

    I am not surprised as the twitchy behavior is more common with the SD and dwarf species. Obviously the male aspect is huge in your case.

    No doubt he is aware of Philly.

    Wallace can be a treat some days.

    I always make sure he is going the other direction before I reach in.
