Pics of tics

So I thought people like seeing updates with the tics and since .usually just snapping cell shots while cleaning or interacting I'd just start a thread to run with and people can follow up at their leisure. About To get back to supporting the YouTube channel though with new vids soon!

I just cant get over your Tiger Anthrax's eyes :D. The shots you did on black glass were amazing.

I <3 this goldenchild. Such an amazing array of colors. Getting a ton better with age. This guy is producing his first sperm plugs right at a year old and 5 ft! more to come soon . . . cage cleaning tonight.

Great photos! I am by no means a "big snake" person, but your pics make me want a retic all the same... Maybe one day I'll get a superdwarf male, but that will be a long time coming.

Question about the goldenchild... This is the most interesting of the retic morphs for me.. In your pics he looks great, but I've seen many pics of them that look very dark. Does their range of color show more as an "oil slick" kind of effect on their scales or are you referring to scale color (the gold tones)? I'm sure there's a range in quality with these guys, but I've seen many that just look "poo brown" and I wasn't sure if it was quality, bad lighting/pics, or both.

Thanks again for posting these pics, it helps those of us that are not retic-ready to live vicariously through you. :)

Mine is special because it has a lot of Jampea blood. Mom was a pure Jampea from the Gasper line and dad was a lavender goldenchild. The red tones is from the jampea blood and the lightness could be a sign of het anery (50% het). When he breeds my purple jampea later this year I know the offspring are going to just be amazingly orange and red. Should produce the best and only high % dwarf albino childs. . . That said there is a lot of variation to the GC mutation. Mine is just a stunning example. Many others are just average I suppose. But I hand selected this one as a hatchling.

Thanks for the info... No wonder yours seemed to look better than the other GCs I'd seen. Will his colors stay that intense as he ages? I'm so used to hearing about BPs and boas "browning out" that I tend to assume all snakes do so.

Cool pics. Im also a huge fan of tbe golden child. My favorite morph for retics because of the iridescence. If they ever make some SD Golden Childs at a reasonable hobbyist (see no plans to breed) price, I'll be strongly considering one.

I've read comments retic skin feels different than a boa or ball python. Is this true and can you comment?

It feels different when they become adults. Something about scales the size of quarters haha.

Retics skin feels way smoother even when they are young and small.....my sd tiger's scales are smaller then my BPs and a bazillion times smoother.

Yeah they have much finer scales than most boas. This gives them a soft feel as young and still a soft skin as adult. GC are in small packages already. Michael Powell has 50% SD GC listed for sale. 2500 is the price he's asking but I think he's the only US person with some for offer. Bob has produced 50% SD and in Europe there are some 50% SD GC HOGS

Thats a whole lotta snake you got wrapped around ya man haha.

I might try to handle a retic at my next local show but I don't know that anyone breeds them I think they are all wholesale snakes which isn't really my interest. Rather support a breeder.



Anywho question. Not at all trying to steal the thread though. I saw pics today on Google of black GC is that a GC Motley or the original GC without being mixed?

And what is a werewolf killer? Makes me want one just because of the name but again I'd only do a super dwarf. 9' is probably my max comfort level. And I understand the whole bell curve deal but I prefer to err on the side of caution. I understand that is your collection photo thread but knowing the combo to make it would help my Google search. Thanks!

GC has a lot of variation. Some come out black in its purest form. Some are brown and of course, the jampea crosses have intense reds as well. Most are just tan and get a little bit of yellow as they turn into adults (brighten with age as almost all retics do contrary to balls). GC motley though have a VERY strong head pattern from that motley gene, and the snake in general is always completely black. This is still a new cross. I will be breeding my Tiger Motley het SD/D to my GC Het Jampea later this year to hopefully produce Goldenchild Motley Tiger Purple and Lavender Albinos! Gotta finish getting that girl up to size, but she turns 3 this year and is packing size (see picture above with my foot as acomparison, size 13.

Werewolf Killer is an idea, but it was created this year - but the name I don't believe stuck. Werewolf killer is a "silver bullet" - mutation wise you'd be looking for a GC Snow or GC Anery. No one to date has produced a GC Snow, but it is in the works it seems, this year. My GC, if proven het snow, could have some fun for me later down in such a project. . . GC Anery was just produced this year by NERD.

Thanks for the explanations man, much appreciated.


If I went for a retic it will definitely be a GC, maybe full black. I'll have to look into the Motley GC's too. Maybe in a couple years one will fall into my price range for pet pricing. At this point, I'm gearing towards a ball python project that could be big (for my level anyways) so my funds are going there.

Please do continue to post pics though. These guys just look wicked (in a good way). Saw a pic of a retic looking through a door crack, that pic still gives me goosebumps when I see it. The all-knowing, ever watchful eye. If the Devil ever did take the form of a snake to deceive it would have been a retic, nothing looks quite as cunning as these guys (though geographically it doesn't work out).

like this one? ;-) this is one of my favorite shots of this boy when I first got my golden child.

The sinister eye.... he/she is waiting.

Something totally awesome about their pupils, iris, and brow that is too cool. Like a dinosaur!

No no. I didn't just clean your entire cage 3 minutes ago literally thank you for that. Common thing for retics. You have all been warned.

Yeah my boy is small but he still enjoys flooding the 41 qt tub. Either by peeing or by dragging his bowl to the hot side and dumping it. He also floods the cage when he soaks in the bowl -_-. Retics destroy their cages much much more then the most troublesome BPs. He is an avid painter and also likes pulling all of the paper towels into one wad on the hot side. :gj:

You know how retics know when it's time to poop and pee? When they are put back in a clean cage.

Mine know that rule very well!

Isn't it Ironic don't ya think? How a dwarf retic dwarfs a BP?

Speaking of dwarfing things:

1. Your collection is insane and it reassures me I need to step my retic game up lol

2. I can't wait till all my Mainland tics start to dwarf me. Looking at my buddies 22' 270lb purple tiger makes me want mine to put on some pounds. She's so fun to work with especially when she gets lively. The brute strength takes your breathe away, in a good way!

Dwarfs are awesome, prices are coming down a little bit as the new morphs in mainland are keeping those prices higher. But you still expect to pay a bit for a female superdwarf anything since the demand is ridiculous. Dwarf Locales like Jampea and Seylayer are just awesome though and cheap enough.
