    Kalatoa 100% Pure SD Retic Progression (Pic heavy...)
    Gave her a free roaming session earlier and her cage back... she chose to hang out quietly on the cool side of her cage and the sliding door has been open for her all day. Maybe Gerald’s scent from having spent the night in that cage has calmed her down? Who freakin knows anymore.

    Also ordered a chest freezer so now I can make a big feeder order of rabbits and pigs and guinea pigs and whatever else I could possibly need

    Keep fighting the fight. Retics are smart, but we still have an edge LOL!

    Happy you got the freezer. Now you can save money for sure. I need to pick one up myself. Been so focused on caging right now though. Is good she clamed down a little.

    Welp, day 5 and she’s trying to peel her face from her skull so I guess I’m feeding her. Next trial is either big ass rabbits and/or piglets less frequently or bump back down to xl or jumbo rats every 4-5 days. This is basically just not fun anymore at this point.

    Dang man. I would go crazy. Personally i would probably stick to smaller more frequent meals if the size meal doesnt change her pushing time. I mean every 5-7 days is a lot of food, even for a female retic.

    It’s driving me nuts. I haven’t tried anything larger than a 4xl guinea pig so next test is medium rabbits and maybe piglets if I make a monster feeders order. Chest freezer should be here Thursday.
    If big meals don’t slow her down then I guess large to jumbo rats every four days and that’s the longest I’m ever allowed to travel again until this animal dies/escapes/eats me/who knows

    Lol lucky for me Caesar has mellowed out. He's about a day from 2 weeks and still quiet. Only gets loud when his humidity spikes. I just open a door and once it dries out some, he will crawl into a hide and curl up.

    You don’t even begin to understand how jealous I am of that...

    Hey,

    I'm grabbing at straws here so I'll add this suggestion/idea/thought.

    I'm wondering IF, its the design of the cage for her that gives her a spot to push and get to traction. Maybe you should try to find a used Boaphile or Pro-Line or Vision cage and just try it. Sure its a waste of money of it doesn't work, but may end up worth it if it does.

    I'm at a loss, other than building your own custom cage, I can't come up with anything.
