Caesar progression thread.

Lol and just after typing what I typed above, I looked over to see Allison cruising all over. I wander over there and she dropped a huge deuce. So today it was Rosey's urate this morning and now Allison's deuce, what a glamorous job :gj:

He's looking good!

Wallace is a steady eater every 7 and I'll bet I can take him to 10 with no issues. He's a stealthy fellow as well.

Caesar seems a bit more outgoing and hungry which is cool.

I'm certainly OK with a 7-9 footer here.

Yeah I've changed Caesar to every 7 days. He seems fairly ok with it now. He's not so food driven as when I got him.

And yeah he is definitely outgoing. He loves to watch what's going on outside the cage and anytime I slide open Rosey or Vicky's door, he is immediately poking his head out of his hide or raising his head up to see what's going on lol. And once the lights go out, he usually will sit on top of a hide or sit with his head resting on the litter dam, looking outside.

As for size, I really am not sure how big Caesar will get. I'm going to plan for 10' so anything smaller and I will for sure be prepared. Not too worried really as long as he keeps his laid back mellow personality.

Lol yeah I thought so too. I was sitting on the chair by his cage eating a cheeseburger and looked over to see his head poking above the litter dam as his cage is level with the chair. I had to get up and snap a picture of him lol. He was a good boy and sat there for the photo session. Then afterwards, when I sat down to finish my burger, I guess he figured no food, no need to stay here and he back peddled into his head and readjusted his head so just his nose and eyes poked out of the cool hide haha.

Also here's an older picture of him after a rat. Guess he wanted seconds haha. Not a very clear picture though :(

Love retics. So comical and full of personality.

Yup that's retics in a nut shell. I haven't posted about it on this site but I recently had a fridge failure, so between a shed cycle, the fridge failing, and waiting to get a chest freezer/new food River and several other snakes have gone over a month without food....I feel bad for her but she's taking it well. Beyond the usual excited outburst from her hide she's not misbehaving or showing any extreme hunger behavior. I should have more food in by Thursday as I ordered it last week, and these poor hungry snakes will be able to eat. Hopefully a chest freezer will help me to save the snake food in the future because this is the third failure in 2 years. :/

Caesar is a cute guy! He gives you more of a "food plz" look than the "food!!!! Oh ok no food *hangs head*" look I get from River.

He used to be really food driven but like I said, he seems to have mellowed out on it after being packed with quail, rats and chicks every 4 days for a month or so. He still loves to eat and go bonkers when he does smell food but yeah he more "food plz" now than "FOOD!!"

And that sucks about the frig failing with all the food. I need to pick me up a little chest freezer too and stock up on food for everyone.

And oh man, one month with no food!! If my snakes went that long, I'm sure there would be a headline of man eaten by his snakes lol. The boas get worked up after 2 weeks with no food. By 3 weeks they are good and hungry. Everyone else is following my finger around after a week haha.

Here's Caesar about 15 mins ago. Think he's waiting for food haha. He was on top of his hides and now he's camping the door.

And thanks. Yeah Caesar is pretty awesome. Total laid back retic. He's kind of like a thinner, longer, more active boa with a touch more interactive personality.

Lol. The most dramatic my snakes get is staring at me if I walk in. No bites, or grumpiness or anything. The ball python has luckily passed his "strike at anything that moves" phase for a few months now. Very few of my snakes are eating more often than 2 weeks at this point.

I love the retics, too. Definitely plan on adding a few more, most likely SDs though as standard retics take up a lot of room. Haha. They're definitely great interactive display snakes.

Yeah, I want a SD pied tiger but they haven't been made yet and when they are, I'm sure they will cost a kidney or 2 lol. I also do like platinum tiger SDs.

About the only snake I got that would qualify as display for me is my JCP as she is still kind of excitable easily but is calming down. The rest of my snakes I try and get out at least a few times a week even if only for 15 mins or so just so they are used to being handled. Seems to make them less shy and skittish. My vet and the nurses were actually pretty surprised how tame Rosey is. All Rosey wanted to do was get back to me when the vet or nurses held her lol. They like my reptiles except Allison did take a few shots at the vet haha.
