Nope,

Ed is building mine. I've got a 72" x 30" x 24" with rock background coming. I already have a dead oak tree branch ready to install in there as well.

This cage will really be something when I'm done.

I can't believe how much you spend on food LOL!

The royal here eats one large rat maybe 5-6 times a year sometimes less. The carpet eats 1 or 2 large rats, or a quail or rabbit about every 2 months.

The boa eats once a month and skips all winter.

Even Wallace is capable of every 14 days between meals.

I don't spend that much, don't clean that much, but enjoy LOTS!

Yeah, Caesar eats every 10 days or he mutilates his face.

Rosey and Vicky eat every 3-4 weeks.

Gina, Rango and Luna eat every 10 days but once Gina hits one year old, I'll push everyone back to 2 weeks probably.

Dottie eats when Dottie wants. Since moving her back into her T10 she has been active at night and back to eating like a machine. Guess she likes the T10 more than the T8.

And then if I get this Tumbes boa aka Peruvian Longtail aka BCL, that will be another mouth. And I also got another Rio Bravo Pokigron male reserved from Chris Wolf from his Oct litter. He will go with Gina if I decide to actually breed later.

So yeah, I really do need a chest freezer lol.

Haha, he's actually quiet as church mouse atm. He is in shed AND ate a 2XL guinea pig so he has the double whammy to keep him quiet. Now Dottie is causing trouble. She shed last night and was out in force shoving her temp/humidity gauge around. Stuffing her head in the litter dam like Caesar and staring out the front. I think she is hungry haha.

Haha. Yeah it will be a long time before i attempt to breed them but if i breed anyone, it will be them.

And yeah, i got 3 youngsters unless you count Caesar, then 4 haha.

I knew she was getting big but these pics really put things in perspective, I'm 5'4" maybe 5'5" with my boots on to give a sense of scale here. She's gotta be closing in on 7.5', maybe even closer to 8'.

Outstanding!!

The new place looks great and you two look exceptionally great as well.

Yep, she is big but nice and lean. I'd be thrilled if Wallace hit that size. She looks 8'-9' there.

Job well done sir!!

Side note,,,, I had two good ones at the brew pub tonight with my wife.

Lol thanks brother! Haven't gotten a tape measure on her in a bit but I think my short stature makes her look like a 9 footer. Wouldn't be surprised to find out she's a good 8' though.
As I'm typing I just finished cleaning her cage for the second time today... freaking retics! Good thing they're fun otherwise the cleanup wouldn't be worth it
Lucky dog with your brew pubs hahah! I shouldn't complain too much about being in the beer desert down here. I have about 5 cases worth of different great brews aging to perfection in my "cellar"/snake room closet and I was delighted to find out that at least my favorite Two Hearted Ale by Bells brewery is readily available in Starkville, MS! Having said that, variety is the spice of life and I do miss having several hundred different beer options at my fingertips back home...

Phyllis looks good. She is definitely getting big. I was all excited thinking this was going to be the cage pic lol.

Well it's been 6 days since Phyllis last ate and I just got home to see that she's been pushing like crazy and beat her face up again... swollen lip again. I really hope the new cage helps a bit if/when I ever get the dang thing

Stupid Google not saving my text to posts....

Anyways, good luck with that chief. I though the same thing when I got Caesar his big cage and guess what, he destroyed his face even more lol. I think he was able to get more of his body into the push haha.

Face it brutha, we got bottomless pit retics. They are always hungry and if they don't get food when they want, they have learned 'If I don't get food when I want, I will just destroy my face because then I get food....lots of food!' :P
