    My 3 Albino Retics. Decided to join the club!
    So I purchased a trio of albino retics. Phase 1 all three morphs :)

    I have them in a rack now. But my new home will be finsihed this month. and in january I am building a 500 sq ft. insulated, heated and well ventilated snake room. These babies will get them selves each a 10'x3'x20" cages.

    But enough jibber. Here's there baby pics.

    A bit wirey right now. still working on them.

    sorry I looked wrong at the images lol. the first is my purple, followed by the white than the lav. Images don't do them justice.

    Need to make a photo box, but these guys are not as easy to photo as a ball. once you move them. they just want to go. lol

    I would recommend that you keep your cage to 90 some inches in length as opposed to 120". You want your floor to be one solid piece and depending on materials you will have a hard time finding anything longer than 96" to build with.

    Yeah I was looking at that. and as I would have no problem doubling the material and alternating the joints, since It will be sealed after. But I have looked at many peoples cages and it seems no ones building over 8 feet. so I may stick to 8 foot anyway unless someone gets to big.

    there is an exterior product available here in Ontario called "extera". I think that’s how it's spelled. it's allot like mdf but unfinished the manufacture guarantees it for 3 or 4 years against swelling and it comes in 4x8, 4x16, 2x8,2x16. I have worked with to build window shutters and I don’t see any reason you couldn't use it for cages, so if you want to build bigger you do have an option.

    I have looked but the general rule I find wiht retics is once the snake is double the cage. you upgrade, so an 8 foot cage is supposed to be good for a 16 footer. I'm sure by the time they hit 16 I'll have larger cages anyway.
