jmcrook,

Since we've all stolen a bit of thunder from your thread how about a few more pictures of your girl when you have time?

Thanks for letting us all chime in and go off course a bit. It's all for the love of little retics.

Gio,
No worries at all! Happy to have a thread for all of us tiny tic keepers to continue conversations. I hope we keep it up. Tonight is feeding night so I'll try to get some pics of the feast to share with everyone. Had a great handling session with her last night, very calm, not twitchy or jumpy at all getting her out, but still very curious and active. Such an amazing species

And then she goes for her standard post meal dip in the pool. About time for a bigger water bowl... barely fits half or more of herself in it anymore. So hard to get good photos through the glare on the cage. "Human! Bring more rats to this apartment at once!" Haha

She looks great. I love the pattern.

Basking under her RHP this morning. Been very active recently and did a good job of tossing her cage about last night. My guess is that she is speaking out about having smaller rats her last two feedings. 50g rats the last two weeks and she has taken 80-90 gram rats the two weeks before that. I trimmed her intake back slightly as she has been growing like a weed and don't want to power feed her and promote obesity but she will start to push at the cage corners if she gets too hangry. I'm giving her another 50g rat Wednesday and we'll see how the next week goes, any pushing or if she stays calm. At her growth rate she seems she will be a fairly impressive sized Kalatoa SD. She could hit 6-7 feet and start thickening up a bit or she could very well end up 9 feet. She's definitely not going to be a giant but a 7, 8, 9 foot snake isn't what I'd consider small either. I'm guessing 6' by her first b-day but we'll see...

Nice looking gal there. I got that same xtra large water bowls for my big boa and the retic.

Thanks Sauzo. That's actually the medium exo terra bowl I think. I'll probably get something less expensive for her next bowl because she'll surely be too big for it within a couple months. I like the exo terra bowls but not cheap upgrading sizes when you've got a snake that grows this much. They're very spill proof though which is really nice when you've got a reticulated honey badger using it

Poor girl got her first face rubbing abrasions... not too bad but obviously not a good development. Going to up her food intake, either larger prey or smaller more frequently and hope she stops pushing as much. Been a real sweetheart the last few times I've had her out though. Hopefully the rubs go away with her next shed.
