Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

Glad you and Wallace are both doing well! Considering his size that could’ve been much worse. Thanks for the pictures!!

I think a true feeding response with a wrap would have been pretty nasty but not a day breaker. Even at 8.5 - 9 feet (estimate) he's fairly light bodied compared to a mainland.

Sauzo has a male about the same age and size as Wallace. Actually his boy is from the same breeder.

Most bites are not that bad, but some are.

I'm hoping this was my last bite.

Time for an update.

He's close to topping off and has his 3rd Bday June 1st. He's never been measured but I'd guess between 8-9 feet.

Wallace took a F/T LG rat today.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of feeding pictures. Unfortunately its the easiest way I can get good pictures of him inside the cage.

I will get some sunny weather pictures of him this year.

For now these must suffice.

His morph colors are starting to pop. Raspberry/Lime Ice Crystal is the gene I believe. :rofl: Gotta love LED lights!

I cleaned the room up a bit and made some in cage adjustments to the boa cage. I must say, I think it looks pretty nice in the man cave.

Nice, lean, sturdy lookin critter! As always, I dig your set ups too, man. Someday I’ll deck mine out once the boas are in their forever cages. Just don’t feel like investing a bunch of money in cool backgrounds for small enclosures they’ll grow out of.
Cheers dude!

Wallace is looking as handsome as ever Gio. Every time I see him a little piece of me kinda regrets not getting a retic in my last trio of critters :). Your enclosures are awesome too bro!

Thanks guys,

JM, the boas love climbing so make sure you have perches in the final cages.

Zig,

I love this guy, but 1 is enough. My experience has been good compared to JM's but if I were to only have the opportunity to get 2 species, I'd gladly take boas and carpets.

That said, Wallace is awesome in many ways.

I’m hoping my boas grow into the climbing habit. Dare I say, Leonard is more of a pet rock than my ball python, Geoffrey lol! Mirabelle cruises the cage pretty regularly but doesn’t venture too high on her grapevine. Either way they will definitely be afforded the option as their grow out/final homes are already equipped with perch mounts and shelves and such.

I'll get some Sniper climbing pictures up this summer.

I will say Wallace is the most arboreal creature I have.

The semi arboreal part of this hobby is something I love. Also the activity, which is why Wallace is pretty cool!

Looking great!

This post is like Graceland!

You are, IMO THE authority on the species here!

And yes folks, somebody that actually does have a biology major with the focus on animals.

Cody, I'd love to see more from you in regards to this species, but I know your venomous collection is time consuming.

I'm actually flattered you posted in this thread.

Thank you, and great to see you here!
