Oh snap!

It seems that a lot of people who have little or no experience with Retics are trying to nag someone who does. I think thats unfair. Me, I know little about Retics so I am not going to state my opinion. However...there's no need to be snippy or rude to other peoples opinions when they differ from yours. No need to be a smart a** either. Let's all embrace in a friendly Retic hug!! (dies of cardiac arrest)

8b8ll...I couldn't agree with you more. Videos like that make snakes seem more like animals than pets. If that makes any sense.

I'm still very upset about that video. Wish there was never a youtube.....I'm sick of everyday seeing another video of some snake being exploited...when did it become a constest of whos snake can eat the bigger animal?? No I am not talking about the person in the post...people in general seem to make a big spectacle of feeding there snakes a HUGE prey item video taping it.


I can't speak on this subject anymore. :mad: :(

I'd rather see a video like this!!

Almost 2 months after making this benign and helpful suggestion I get hit with an anonymous neg. rep point? :confused: Sorry, go ahead and handle a bunch of herps and dead animals without washing your hands for days. That's smart, too.

gee, i wonder who it could be, someone that couldn't rep because they were moderated.... hmmmmmm... yeah i dunno it's just too hard

And let me guess... I'm the prime suspect... as usual.. :rolleyes: oh this never gets old... don't know why people are always tryin to starts crap with me.

I just joined and was browsing and came across this post ...the prey item this gentleman posted isn't overly big. Retics should not be fed like a boa or ball. They are designed to ingest a prey item 1/4 both their weight and length. That barely left a bulge in that retic in the post feeding photo, indicating a suitable size, in fact...a perfect meal.

^ Agreed 100%. I've owned and bred Retics for 10 years and HAVE NEVER had a retic die from eating a good sized prey item. I am new but going to say this

It's not proper to comment on something from an uneducated opinion on a species. What works for one species more often then not does not work for another

I just joined and I want to point out that this prey item is in no way whatsoever too big for a retic, they arent bp's or boas and can ingest much larger prey than either of those animals can.:snake:

Wow, thats ironic- three differnt people joined within the last...54 minutes, and posted on this thread.. lol..
