    Thanks! So far she fits the descriptions and characteristics of what y’all say about your Retics, except for face pushing and waste production. But then she’s only 7 months.

    Quick question. I went to take her out last night and she greeted me at the door face first. I tapped her side to get her to turn her head but she kept moving it back. She knew I was taking her out. Not sure if she was challenging me or was just ready for some freedom? She was not tensed up but was looking me right in the face. I did get her to turn eventually but she was determined for a min to come out face first. No issues once out though. I am gentle with her and she is gentle with me. Was this her way of saying no she doesn't want out or just saying ok I am ready?

    So much to learn about my big girl.

    Lol yeah Caesar whips me with his tail if he knows i am the one bugging him. Caesar always greets me at the door. Not a challenge, just either thinks food might be coming or he is getting some attention. Like i said, he is the only snake i have seen that likes petting. Not a fan of being dragged out of his cage unless he wants to but he sure does love the petting.

    Lol try it. When Caesar didnt know it was me, he spun around and took a shot. He hit my arm but I'm still not sure if his mouth was open or not. When he knows its me, he just swats my hand with his tail. Kind of like when i bug his body. He will shove my hand away lol.

    My tic is broken. He flinched and took off running away. My carpet and one of my corns spun around ready to fight but stopped when they realized it was me.

    Lol Caesar turned around and took a shot at me before he knew it was me. Still dont know if his mouth was open and i got lucky or if it was closed and he just head butted me but i felt him hit my arm back by the arm pit lol. My boas dont seem to care much or they are used to me bugging their tails. Havent tried it on Pat and dont plan too. The little worm has never taken a shot at me and i dont want it to start haha.

    Day three after feeding and she’s just smashing the hell out of her face again. At this point I’m almost seriously considering trying to rehome her because this is just stressing me out excessively. I’m at the end of my wits here

    You know man, I'm beginning to wonder if it is something else other than food that is driving her to push so hard so often. As to what it could be, I have no idea but the past few weeks Caesar has been fairly good. He does a little pushing here and there but nothing like a few months ago. I think his pushing was wanting a girlfriend.

    On a side note, Dottie has been going crazy recently with pushing and really active. Also if i rub her back, she arches up. Bot sure if she is wanting to breed or what as she is usually really quiet.

    I think it’s possible that she’s picking up Gerald’s scent and is feeling a bit randy but I’m not in the position to breed them and she’s a bit young. It was also about this time last year that her pushing got really bad and larger prey helped a bit. Honestly she probably just needs to be slammed with food, a colossal rat in her is hardly noticeable. She could probably take a 3lb rabbit no problem. I just don’t have a rabbit supplier at the moment and need to work through my last big cheese order before I re stock. I’ll probably feed her more frequently or give her two colossal rats next time I feed
    Also starting to really think she’s got some kayuadi or jampea blood in her as she measured just about 10’ yesterday. Never heard of a two year old kalatoa getting that big that fast
