Gene finally has a thread!

Gene has been doing really well. He is pushing after 3 days on larges. He just finished his last large and after his shed he'll be on Jumbos (which is comical because they are not much larger).

I stepped away from work for 1 minute to make tea and he was all of the table. After the picture was taken he knocked down the monitor. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b1d7bc972b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c715f210d6.jpg

Looking great! I bet he'd take an xxl rat or bigger no problem. Sounds like he's about the same size as Phyllis now

Oh i bet he would easily take a XXL rat or even guinea pig. Caesar was downing 2XL guinea pigs but i backed him down to jumbo rats.

Looks like he's doing great!!



....and I like that MM sketch in the background by the way, I have a good friend who personally owns a few real MM watercolors bought from him in person.....needless to say I want them, but I can't shell out that kind of $$$ for a few paintings.

He's grown so much!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...50aa34268d.jpg

And the finished results, pain in the rear cleaning them. Amazing how bad Gene's enclosure was when I spot clean daily. On a side note, he pissed while out free roaming. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f301431248.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f040c8e78f.jpg

Haha Caesar's bare floor looks kind of like that too. Not as many pee stains as i only used Reptichips for a shorter time. Aspen is really good at soaking up all that liquid so it doesnt seep to the floor like the bigger chunk Reptichips.

And that's such a nice cage. Caesar would destroy that thing in a night lol. He loves to push substrate around and his hides too. He is part of the reason no one gets nice stuff. The one time i tried to make his cage all pretty with silk vines when he was a baby and he got himself stuck in one of the links of the vine and i had to cut it off him with a pair of scissors. I think that was the moment we bonded as he laid on me for about 20 mins and ever since then, he likes to 'hang out' next to me at night. Doesnt like to be held, but likes to sit by me. Goofy snake lol.

Beautiful boy! If my math is correct, he must be about 2 years old now, yeah? How long is he?

Yea he's around 2 now. I don't really pay to much attention. He is right at 8' I wait until he wonders into the kitchen, then I use a dry erase marker on the tile and pull him out and grab a tape measure. I guess I could just strung him as he'll fall asleep on the couch often.
