    Craft stores probably sell them for people who make homemade dolls.

    Okay, official weight is 34.28lbs and tenative length is 12'-3" but that's not stretched, it was a flex tape followed down her coiled length.

    Maybe soon I can get her stretched out and get a more exact number.

    Lol ya shes def got that look to her. I have a feeling that shes gonna be one of my favorites. Already such a sweetie. A little rough getting her out of her enclosure, and I dont think she knows quite how sfrong she is, but she will get lots of handling before she grows into a monster lol

    It's amazing just how big they can get. I almost wish my boy would get to about how big your girl is now, but that would be a bit too much for me to handle on my own. I have to agree, too. That face pic of her is quite adorable. "Can I havessss a rat now?" XD

    Ya I will get some pics up of my buddies big girl next time we get her out. She is amazing. Mine will be that big in the not too distant future. Big snakes are fun, and I love the challenge of gently persuading something stronger than me to cooperate lol. If you get into big snakes make sure you have a flexible schedule. Not like boas, if they don't wanna go back in their enclosure, it might be an hour before you succeed. That's usually as bad as it can get tho lol. Usually they want to go back home lol.


    And ya, she wanted food, but not a rat. She wants a nice juicy 5 lb rabbit lol.

    Thank you. She's gonna be a real looker that's for sure. Pretty paint jobs on big snakes is awesome. Like a pretty beeper but jumbo size haha. Thus is the allure of retics.

    Good for you man! I always forget about your collection of various snakes because I'm used to you on the boa forum.

    You should make a massive photo post of your collection. Boas, BP's, Retics, the Yellow Anaconda and whatever else you have.

    The new snake is beautiful!

    Lol ya I've been wanting to do a "collection thread" for awhile now but haven't had the time because of the collection lol, and the other thing is where do I post it? Lol. I have something from every forum except colubrids and venomous, so don''t know where it should go.

    Well, I'd see it first on the boa forum but that would be selfish of me to have it go there LOL. I guess General Herp is the spot. No matter where you post it, give me a heads up as I want to see it!

    I think the handle, "Expensive Hobby" makes sense now. You've got a bit invested there!!

    Lol general herp it is lol. And ya, the name explains a lot lol. Not as much as some people but I have easily 5 figures in the whole thing, which for an average Joe and only in a 10 month period I think is ok lol
