The search is over! =d

My, what seemed to be very long and hectic, search for the perfect female Retic is finally over! I have found her! And she is without a doubt one of the most beautiful Purple 'Tics I have ever seen. And boy what a steal on her!

I posted a couple weeks back asking about reputable breeders for 'tics on here and you guys all gave me great names and great folks to work with. I thought I had found a female through a friend of a friend who breeds, only tragedy struck her facility as she was robbed so my offer fell through.

So the search continued, finally after emailing every big name breeder (besides a couple) and numerous people I found on Kingsnake and Fauna selling retics, asking if they had any Purples I decided to just post my own wanted add on fauna. The next day a guy messaged me about some dark 2010 female purples he had, we messaged back a couple times, I got some photos and I picked out the perfect female for myself tonight, she'll be here in about a week and a half =)

Enough of my blabbing, here she is:

Very nice...Very dark Purple...Congrats!!!:gj::gj:

She's so pretty! post more pics when you get her :D

Just gorgeous!

Haha you are so right! My ex's little male Tiger just grew about 4 inches in a week, talk about a growth spurt. She is going to be a behemoth by next year.

Thanks.

Love her! Definitely can't wait to watch her grow! Helluva nice pick up!:gj::gj:

Thanks, neither can I haha, she's going to be huge so fast.

So pretty! I don't think I'll get any retics until I'm out of college (and hopefully have a nice big exotic vet practice to display them ;) ) but I really enjoy seeing everyone's pickups and pictures. Definitely get some snapshots for us when she arrives!

Doggone Florida law! Grrr!

Wow she is gorgeous!
I want a big snake so bad but im too scared of the teeth!

Do you have a hook? Please make sure you start the hook training early...

Thanks everyone, I will be snapping tons of photos once she gets here lol. And most definitely be posting some on here.

Yeah thats so awful, glad I live in Oklahoma and not Florida thats for sure.

Yeah they got some big teefers 0.o but I've come to terms with the fact I'm going to get bit, and I'm probably going to need stitches at some point. But I'm ok with that. Heck, I know she could easily kill me before long, but I'm always safe with big snakes and I've gained enough experience with my friend's 'tics to know I'm as ready as I can be for this type of snake.

YEP! Just found one on sale too, she'll be hook trained from the get go.

Glad you got a hook coming...Just be safe and have someone to help you when he gets to be a giant...There are no guarantees in life, except for taxes and death, but being smart can help keep you alive and enjoying your giants for a long time...

Definitely. I have my over 7 feet rule, if the snake is over 7 feet there has to be at least two people present in the room.

And I live with three strapping young men, so I have it made there.
