Pics of tics

Saphira - adult genetic stripe reticulated python. She's just shy of 14 feet long. She was in shed in these pictures which is why she looks dark, normally she's a lot brighter. Also not the easiest snake to handle, she can be a bit territorial/defensive in her enclosure.

She looks nice. Was she a handful when you went to pick her up after your photo shoot?

Naw she's only a brat about coming out of her enclosure. Once she is out she's fairly easy to manage - or as easy as any 14' snake can be.

Going back into her enclosure though, don't get in her way or she'll run over you. She loves her home.

wow! Saphira is beautiful! g-stripe huh? love the orangey head.

Woah! Bcr does have a retic! I thought she was just blowing smoke to be part of the cool kids as I never saw pics of the tic!! ;) Nice looking little worm.

And Caesar is the same. He doesn't mind coming out but he sure does love his house lol.

I wish I had the right circumstances to keep a full size retic.

WOW!

Something special right there!

I love the yellow/orange head and the tan/buckskin coloring on the body. Under the neck is pumpkin orange too. All that and in shed??? Not bad at all.

Looks to be fed perfectly and seems very manageable, although cage removal seems to present issues with many retics. Wallace can be a bit pissy but he's so small I keep pushing the issue. He's gotten better with time. The SD x Dwarf mixes tend to be a bit high strung which I like in a way.

Glad you posted up this beauty.

Don't be a stranger with the pictures here. That was well worth looking at, and after a shed, I'm thinking "show stopper"!

We were lucky to get her, I think she's one of the best examples of the g-stripes out there. She's even flightier than our pure SD male in her enclosure though.

That is one spectacular serpent!
