Haha you're not kidding. Caesar is a big boy now but he is still like a baby though. He will lay down like a scolded puppy if he thinks is wrong. If i handle him roughly or boop him on the head for any reason, he will just lay there. And like i said, he seems to really enjoy being petted. Only snake I've ever seen that comes over and sits there to be petted haha.

And now you know the reason why I'm having to look at a T65 maybe next summer haha. I think Caesar's mainland and tiger gene has kicked in plus the fact if you dont feed him every 10 days, he obliterates his face lol. Good thing he doesnt have an attitude and is happy 99% of the time.

And no way he can be bigger than Phyliis. Phyllis is a beast!!

Lol! I think he'll be fine in that T25 for quite a while, if not forever. People keep 12'+ snakes in those things no problem. And yeah Phyllis may still be a bit bigger than Caesar. Seeing her stretching along this new cage I feel like she's a good 8' or maybe slightly longer now. Caesar's head though! Phyllis doesn't have that beefy muscled dome like that haha!

Yeah hopefully lol. I've always liked to try and give my snakes enough room to stretch out which is why i was thinking of the T65 next summer. We'll see.

And Caesar does have a muscular head. He has a muscular body too lol. I let him come down to the floor at night sometimes and wander around a little and when he doesnt want me to pick him up, he can just about outrun me trying to scoop him up lol. And i dont think he's even really trying.

Caesar has a huge head! Here is Gene from tonight while I had him out. He was in the kitchen stretched out and he is a little over 7' (Have to love 12x12 tiles). He has gained more girth the last few months. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c6df31b8b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ba9899d64e.jpg

Well Caesar shed so figured I'd get a couple pics of him. He generally isn't very cooperative though so sorry for the bad pics haha. He's getting so big. These give you an idea. He loves to hang down like this and he still has about 1/3 of his body and tail in his cage on the 3 stack of T25s. And I finally think he has mellowed on the food drive. It's been almost 2 weeks and he isn't pushing. He does push a little when he wants a door slid open so he can sit and look outside or hang down lol.

That's great, Gene has been pushing a lot. I got 30 jumbo rats, but they don't seem to much larger. Might need to go to rabbits or guinea pigs. I'm shocked he hasn't mangled his face yet. But he has been chilling in his sky hide all the time.

Yeah, jumbo rats aren't really that huge. I alternate between those and guinea pigs for Caesar. Enjoy the pushing lol. Caesar did it a ton as a baby and messed up his face and chin I don't know how many times. Now that he is older, like I said, he only pushes when he wants a door open so he can sit with his face on the litter dam. Then when he gets bored, he either ventures down to the floor or goes into a hide and goes to sleep haha. Here is his usual hang out though for hours with the door open. Sorry for the washed out face. His head is pretty light in color so flashes don't go well with it lol.

Thanks man. I switched him back to aspen as well as all the other snakes and he seems much happier on it. He doesn't really push anymore. I don't think was a fan of the Reptichips. He used to push it aside and lay on the cage floor. Now he lays on the aspen. Also the aspen seems to soak up his piss better and is a lot easier to spot and spot clean. His face was facing the front but I was bugging him and kept petting him and he kept pushing my hand away. Finally I think he got irritated and turned his face to the back of the cage haha. His face is starting to turn a lot more white. Be interesting to see how he looks in a few years as he is still kind of a baby at 17 months old.
