Some photos of my new albino dwarf reticulated python!

Here's an update on Lucy, my dwarf albino reticulated python. It's been just over two months since I got her and she has more than doubled in weight! Today is feeding day and she came in at 2,152 grams, just shy of five pounds! She is slamming medium to large rats once a week. Still no signs of aggression at all. I took her out and gave her a bath today, here are a few photos and a short video. She is still a little lighter than my biggest snake, my biggest is a Jungle Woma Spider female ball python, I put a photo of her below as well. Enjoy!

Looks good.
Nice update.

Thanks cchard, Lucy looks amazing! Maybe you should consider tap and hook training now and while she is so responsive to you. Also while she is still very young? Good luck with her.

That's nearly half a pound in just over two weeks WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BYW, My Australian Woma python decided she wanted to ball up for two weeks and not come out to play. Finally she shed and went to the bathroom, now she is a sweetheart again LOL. Reading them really well before messing with them is totally working for me.

Glad to hear your Woma is back to normal .... I wondered if the smell of the Retichad effected the Woma given that they hunt and eat snakes in the wild ..... sounds as though everything got sorted though .


Stunning looking Retic incidentally ...... I'm so envious . I put a £50 deposit down on a SD Purple Albino Retic a few months ago but the breeder is still having trouble getting him to feed regularly so I'm still waiting ..

Actually when I was talking about my Woma python I was actually referring to my Australian Woma python. He is my third biggest snake, here's a photo below. He actually started taking small fresh killed rats weekly on a regular basis a few weeks after I got my retic, he actually eats better than he ever has!
