Now I just work hard to show her proper respect when handling. So far so good. Caesar looks amazing and keep up the good work.
Both times Rainbow has shed she gets it all off but is in many pieces. Her humidity is 60-70%. Is that to low or is she just growing to fast?
Thanks. 60% is low. The lowest i let anyone get is around 65% but i prefer to keep to them around 70-85%. As long as there is no standing water or condensation 24/7. I get spikes of condensation for a day or two after i give the cypress a good soaking but it dries out. You just dont want wet substrate or like i said, dripping condensation 24/7. A couple days is fine and it seems the snakes actually like it.
Heck the little boas' cages sit around 87% with all the plants i got in there and the cypress is dry. They love it and i catch them stretched out at night. Louie and Rango are in shed again since being switched to weaned rats but Gina was all hanging out this morning and most of the afternoon. They love the higher humidity.
Also was pretty funny yesterday. Got in an argument with a guy on FB who was saying my retic wasnt a SD, it was a mainland. He pretty much said, if it's under 50% SD blood, its not a SD. Then he tried to use the comparison of if you were 87% italian and 13% black, would you call yourself a black. I said no and with that, my retic is 37.5% SD, 31.5% dwarf and 31% mainland. Would you call him a SD/D cross or a mainland? I swear, my threads on FB seem to attract the idiots. Had another guy a while ago say my BCL wasnt a BCL because he didnt have the head stamp cross and that only Stockl has true BCL.....funny part is my BCL's parents came from Legacy Reptiles and Vin Russo. And even more funny...Stockl didnt discover the BCL...Russo did....

Thanks. He quit arguing. Either i wore him out or he realized that his analogy of of it has to be 50%+ to be a called an SD still applies in my case as Caesar is predominately SD so calling him a mainland would be less correct as mainland is the least of his bloodline. The point he pretty much quit was when he used the analogy of 'if you are 87% italian and 13% black, would you call yourself black?'. Then i answered no, i would call myself italian and with that regarding my snake, he is 37.5% SD, 31.5% dwarf and 31% mainland. Should i call him a mainland? That's when he said he was done lol. He more or less proved my point. Regardless though, i was pretty done arguing as i kind of felt like an idiot arguing with some random guy on FB on my snake which i clearly know what he is.

No idea. Never weighed him as i only have a food scale which i use to weigh food for new snakes so i know what I'm dealing with. He is pretty freakin heavy though. Probably about on par with my 7 foot boa even though she is more thick but shorter.

Thanks and yeah, I dont remember the exact day in May, think it was the 22nd. But yeah this month he is 2 years old.
Well, i dont have an exact measurement as he doesnt cooperate much but when he stretches out in his cage, he is the full length of the cage and around 2/3 of a side too. So he's close to 8 feet.

I think he's a about a foot longer than Wallace and a bit thicker. Wallace is about a Red Bull can thick maybe a tad more.
I think our dudes are 13 days apart if I recall.
And as far as measuring LOL!!!! Yeah,, I'm eyeballing it and calling it. Not one to sit still here either.
