    Gorgeous retic. I was thinking of going to the store to get some skittles. But I'll just look at him some more. :)

    Is there a thread you've done that shows all your snakes and their enclosures?

    Clicked this because I thought it'd be a rainbow boa. I wasn't disappointed when I found out it wasn't. Awesome little guy you have there!

    I would need a little brush up on various snake species if I posted a rainbow boa in the giant pythons section.

    However I can see where one would automatically assume exactly what you were thinking.

    I'm glad you were not disappointed because the rainbow boas are beauties in their own right for sure.

    I'm looking forward to warmer weather next spring when I can get this little guy outdoors for a real photo shoot.

    Thanks for looking.

    Caesar is 5' already?! Dang man... catching up to Phyllis quick. I feel like her serp widgets measurement is a tad generous but she's a solid 5 1/2 feet.
    Gio, Wallace is looking stunning! I don't know how you and Sauzo get pictures of them even remotely sitting still. Phyllis is a quick little whip, always on the go. And already cruising for food again today on day 6. She struck at the cage door today when I was getting her out but then calmed down as soon as she was hook tapped and I got a hand on her. Colors were fired up today as well.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c51af6c091.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...116dd6385c.jpg

    Lol i'm j/k Jmcrook. Was messing with Gio lol. Although Caesar is getting big. I just posted on his thread with a few pics of him holding a weaned rat which is now too small for him. He can easily eat small rats now and I've only him a month. He's going into his 2nd shed and just getting huge. He downs a weaned in about 15 secs lol.

    Phyllis looks good. Caesar is good about sitting still lol. He actually likes to lounge around lol. He only really gets worked up when food is involved. I just suck at taking pics lol. Caesar has never struck at the door or me. He did get mad and half hearted struck at the pvc tube I first used to let him know I was there. Since then I have ditched that and use a twisted up paper towel to rub on his head and neck and he is much more ok with that. Then I just reach in and pick him up. I'll probably get bit at some point lol.

    WOW,

    I love her head! She looks great and I like everything about the pattern and colors too.

    Sauzo, it is interesting that Caesar is growing so fast although I knew he wasn't 5 feet because he was just short of 4 feet about 5 days ago LOL!

    I've been feeding small rats here since day 1. There was 1 time I fed within 4 days of the prior, but since then every 7 and my last had an 11 day stretch.

    Wallace isn't a food hound just yet. He is a bit shy when he eats. He settles down after I get him out but he's a tad jumpy for the first bit.

    I don't trust him fully just yet but he's never snapped except one time so I think we're on the right track.

    You guys are always welcome to add some of your pictures to my threads. It's about the retics, and I like them all.

    Just wait lol. Once your man decides food is good, you will be in a mess like me haha. Caesar ALWAYS wants food and isn't shy about it in the least haha. I just lift his hide and he turns and looks at me and then I dangle the rat with forceps and he goes gung ho. Does the butt sniff, checks it out and then chows it down and sits there looking at me lol. Then he goes back under his shelf and sits there looking out from for seconds I think haha. I just put his cool side house back in and he burrows under it and curls back up inside it with usually his face poking out.

    I feed him usually every 5-7 days. I'd be kind of scared to see how he would get with no food for 11 days lol. He's in shed now and pretty full so he's quiet. Usually he comes out at night sits on his shelf or looks out the door to see whats going on.

    I was the same about the trust when I first got Caesar but he has really mellowed out. I mean he was mellow when I got him but he is really a lounger now lol. I get him out and he likes to sit on my arm and look down at the floor or my legs haha. I've tried draping him over my shoulders like my boas and the carpet like but he doesn't seem to be a big fan of it. he enjoys my arm a lot more lol. I bet Wallace will mellow out a lot once you get him his forever home. The whole tub thing might have him edgy /shrug.

    He's in a 40 gallon Critter Cage. He's got plenty of room, but he'll be out of quarantine soon and I'll probably put the royal in the glass tank for a bit and Wallace in the Pro-Line. In the spring or summer I'm getting a Monster Cage that will spec out at 6 feet by 30 inches deep and 2 to 3 feet tall.

    I'll deck it out like my others though it will be a lot more work.

    Wallace is still about 3 to 3.5 feet. I can't set him on the floor though, he'll cruise if I do. He's lightning fast and small and if I'm fully paying attention, he's easy to disappear. I think once he get's a bit more size on him he'll be easier to deal with.

    Haha, you're going to poach your BPs cage too just like I did. You'll have to let me know how the Monster Cage is. I'm going to be ordering 3 more T10s come spring myself and then if needed, order a couple T25s for the retic and boas and then decide if I try and roll the dice on getting a few more snakes to fill out the extra T10s or just sell the T10s locally.

    I don't set Caesar on the floor either. I bet he would boogey. The only snakes that I don't mind too much about the floor are my boas. They are pretty relaxed on the floor and just look around and slowly crawl lol. And yeah more size and more time and he'll probably mellow out.
