Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

Wallace is looking good Gio.
What is he eating?

"Wallace is looking good Gio.

Hey Ricky, thanks. Wallace eats large or medium rats and large quail. I tend to feed without a schedule. Sometimes he will get fed weekly, and then I will let hime go 3-4 weeks before I feed.

I quoted my last post so folks wouldn't need to flip back to see the latest photos.

Wallace is a moderate percentage of SD, a larger percentage of Dwarf, and has a minimal amount of mainland.

He's not a monster by any stretch, but he is certainly not what the typical SD male would spec out at.

At this point I like how he handles and I feel confident in taking out alone. That said, I don't particularly like him near my neck. He has a bit of the SD/male twitchiness. At times it makes him annoying to take out.

This species of snake is active and fairly rewarding to keep. I think males tend to be more of a challenge than females, yet that really depends on the individual. I have not had the issues with Wallace that JM had with Gerald.



I'm not expecting or hoping for a lot more growth with this guy.

I still observe arboreal behavior nightly, and often during the day with Wallace.

Hopefully these pictures give a perspective of size.

Cool brother, keep up the good work and keep posting pictures of Wallace and Jewel please. :gj:

Wallace looks awesome Gio! He's a pretty big boy and still fairly young. Is he usually pretty laid back? It's nice when they handle well.

He's looks good Gio!!

He looks great! How old is he now? My SD Hector is about 14 months and 4ft long.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Wallace is 2 and a half years old. He turns 3 June 1st.

He handles fairly well but does have a "flighty/twitchy" side.

He's only bitten me once and that was at an early age. The second time I thought he bit me was not a bite. I actually snagged my hand on his teeth when he was backing out of my hand.

If he grows more, I'm hoping it is not more than a foot maybe 2.

He's a good captive, but the boa and carpet are more relaxing to handle.

That said I'm happy I have Wallace!

He looks great. This is one of my favorite species to work with as well. 3 of them in my care and the 2 females seam calm and inquisitive when out. No bites from them yet. The male is always hungry and hard to get out to hold but does well once out. I love their intellect and personality. I also love the awesome size of these animals. Good job taking care of him.

Yes a lot of fun. Your new one looks great. Just saw it yesterday👍

I'm still really wanting an SD Retic at some point. Probably a year or so away. I'm waiting on a Pucalpa baby in the summer first.
