Update on tiger retic growth (9 months old!) (56k no way!)

Well boredom struck hard and fast a few minutes ago so I decided to let the tiger get some exercise. I usually get her out every 2-3 days for about 30 minutes and let her wander around my room and such. Sorry for the pic quality, taken from my EVO 3D.

For some reason the color isn't coming out right on any of these. My carpet isn't maroon - it's tan lol. Seems I need to tinker with the rom on my phone a bit more to get it all straightened out. But anyways, there ya go. Growth of a female tiger reticulated python. Once she hits a year I'll make another post with pictures from month to month. :rolleyes:

Very pretty! Looks like she is having a good time exploring:)

Time to learn your phones camera, as i have the same phone and that thing takes awesome pictures.

It's nothing close to stock. I'm running a ported camera apk. from the HTC Amaze because the kernel I have supports zero shutter lag, however the amaze camera was a work in progress and isn't really the best thing to use. I'm a hardcore phone geek on XDA and no matter what I set my white balance settings to they come out horrible. It's just the kernel/camera app I'm running.

Ive used XDA for some stuff when I flashed my EVO 3D to metro pcs to get the unlimited talk text web.

Here is a pic from the phone. Gotta have good overhead lighting for it to focus well

Definitely a good picture. If I didn't know that the phone was capable of that kind of quality I'd have to say no way but I've taken a few good pics prior to me tinkering in things that are betas pretty much.

Here's a good example of pre mods to my phone lol

Was taken outside of the suddenlink warehouse while I was a tech for them. but anyways I dont take many pictures, there were perks for the kernel and the cam just happened to be one so I put it on there and dealt with it. :D

i spy a remote, alot of cig butts, little debbie chocolate pies, a paper clip, pepsi bottle, some plastic bagies and something that almost resembles a condom (or something to that effect) :O

Eh, I dont smoke around non smokers and if I really have to I'll walk away from everyone to smoke. It's my bad habit but others shouldn't have to be exposed to the negative effects of it. I wish bars had a smokers area still though :/ it sucks because we generate so much money with the taxes, but are forced to go outside when it's freezing or pouring rain just to get a few drags haha. Restaurants should be no smoking for sure but I HIGHLY feel like there should be smoking bars and non smoking bars. lol

i still dont buy the 2nd hand smoke BS. id be willing to bet that vehicle exhaust is 3X worse than a cowboy. but i also have a hard time believing anything the gov tells me. maby im wierd?????
spooky

The government feeds us a lot of things that aren't true just like any government does sadly. :/

so if i remember right, shes a normal size retic? and how long is she?

Yeah she's a mainland normal. And I'd say she's about 4.5 ft. She's been thickening a lot lately and not growing length wise. She was super skiny when I got her. I think she weighs 3lbs according to what the vet told me if I remember correctly. I'll weigh her tomorrow or something.

think she'll be at 5 by the time shes a year? thats not a bad growth rate, i thought maybe they would be like burms and possibly reach 8+ ft (from what ive heard) in the first year, but 4.5 feet at 9months sounds alot more reasonable

Actually I think she's growing abnormally slow and I'm definitely not under feeding.. I'm borderline power feeding. I give her atleast 2 rats a week. There's a guy on youtube who made some videos of his male tiger retic and at 1 year he was huge.. a couple other videos also gave me this idea. Wonder if the breeder mixed up and gave me a dwarf tiger somehow? Now that I think about it lmao.

Well on topic, nice tiger. He's having fun I can tell. A little off topic, good luck with your phone lol. ;)

Two rats a week is nowhere near "power feeding".

Young animals (of every species) eat a ton of food in their first two years of life. It helps get them from the "prey" stage to the "predator" stage.

8 - 10 feet in one year is a totally acceptable growth rate for a female retic.

and by the way, she is a gorgeous tiger!!
