New purple Retic male.

Have always wanted a retic. This is gonna be more of a pet. I always love the feed response of the big snakes.

Beautiful example of the morph, and congrats on having such a beauty.
Retics just have such a RETICulous feeding response :rofl::rofl::rofl::8::8::D

You should learn aboout the habits of your animals before you acquire them.

You are housing that animal as if it were a bp. It is NOT. It is, however, quite beautiful.

Chris,

Thanks for your reply. How do you suggest I house the snake? Ihave been feeding him crickets and goldfish. Do you think that meets his nutritional requirements?......:please:

Purty retic. If I may add my :2cent: ... I kept one of my SD retics in a tub like that for a few months. The only problem I ever saw was she desperately wanted out every time I opened it. She is much more relaxed in a big display cage. I have been told that babies may feel safer in a tub though. I'm sure you will accommodate him as he grows. Really you should try feeding him some jello and snake sausages too. I hear they love em! :P

Beautiful!!!! Love the Purples and Lavenders...Mine will never leave me!!!

Foschi,

I plan on keeping him in a tub until he gets a little bigger. He is prettly laid back in there right now. I do have plans for a 6ft AP cage in the near future. Probably gonna plan on picking it up at Tinley in OCT. I know thye dont get stressed out in bigger enclosures like BP's do but he is doin good in the rack so far and dont see the need for a big cage right now.

For the record I tried to feed him some jello with cool whip and he didnt take it. Maybe lactose intolerant? Mumps any ideas why he isnt eating?

ok i may be very wrong here but what h-e double hockie sticks is this about feeding snakes jello?! please tell me you guys are joking?!
