Drawf Retic

I just wanted to share a picture of my new girl from Garrett at Reach out Reptiles. She's 100% het purple albino/ Anery. 25% Kalatoa 37.5 Jampea. Her father is a purple snow. I'm really enjoying her. She's so different compared to my boas and carpet pythons. Anyway I just wanted to share a picture of her. She's two months old now. Garrett is a great guy to do business with.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...497683d77a.jpg

Thanks for the compliments. The little noodle was quite the handful when she arrived. However she’s calmed down a lot. Garret sent me a picture of a grown female with the same % as my female. I sent him a message just now to see if it’s alright for me to post the picture. If he gives me the ok, I will post it. He and I talked about size a lot. He said feed her so that she looks like a healthy retic. Slender and healthy. In other words don’t over feed her. That’s one reason why I got her. I wanted to see for myself what would happen with a proper feeding schedule. I couldn’t find a lot of good information that I felt comfortable with when it came to drawf and super drawf retics. As most people seem to feed them way to much. I really feel like they should look like they do in the wild. So this is sort of a personal experiment for me. So I’m keeping a record of her feedings, sheds etc with the help of Reptile Scan. I will try to give a picture update with feeding information from time to time.

Ok I talked to Garrett, he said I could share his picture. So to be clear this is Garrett's picture. So with the dollar bill we can get an idea for the size of this grown female Drawf with the same % as my female.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4dc2688eb6.jpg

You picked a winner there Hawk. Very cool addition. Keep the pics flowing. It'll be nice to see how she grows.

Thanks:).

Beautiful little one, congrats on the nice pick up!

Is yours going to look like this ??

I’m so sorry for missing your post philllydubs. No my girl will probably stay the same color she is now, if not a bit brighter. Retic’s get better with age. However my girl will probably end up the size of the one I have posted. I had a chance to hold a mainland of the same age two weeks ago. You can really see and feel the difference between the two side by side. I could tell they are made up very differently. However, I know she want be my last one. I’m more than likely going back shopping at Reach out reptiles for another female at the first of the year.:D

I just wanted to share a picture of my little one. She's grown a bit since last year. She's now a year old and she's a puppy dog as long as it's not feeding day otherwise she loves to hang out.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ac19ddd011.jpg

Still I would suggest that you shouldn't be surprised if she eventually gets to be 11-12 feet long.

Still to have a dwarf retic which is only the size of large carpet python is pretty awesome. Congrats.

She looks great. Keep that relationship going. It seams feeding day is huge for most retics. LOL. Sounds like your experience with a dwarf is going to be much different than mine with a mainland. Both the females I have now, from age 2-3 seams to be a big growing year. Rainbow almost doubled her length (6 feet to 13 feet) and Aurora has grown from last year and in 6 month (got her at age 2.5 got her in November last year I think) has gone from 5 feet to almost 8. I am looking forward to seeing the growth of your girl the next year or 2 for comparison.

Awww she's beautiful!

She's looking great Hawk! It's nice that she has a sweet disposition too. Who wants a big snake with a bad attitude? ;)

I second that!!!! I am so lucky with my 2 for sure.

Congrats Hawk! Such a beautiful girl, her colors are so stunning and will only get better as she grows... What did you name her??? :)

I’m curious about her growth in the next year or two as well. I’m following Garrett Harttle’s advice on feeding. So far it’s worked out well, I just watch her body condition, with the idea that she should look like a retic in the wild and not a pet Burmese python. For now I’m using her as a show and tell for everyone that’s curious or for those that are fearful of snakes. She goes to the barbershop with me every once in a while the little kids and some big kids enjoy her. I’m doing a back to school program this weekend and she will be one of the stars of the show. I think retics are so cool to work with. You just have to pay attention to them. As I’ve learned they are always paying attention to us. I’m hoping she ends up about eight or ten feet as she will be pretty cool for the educational shows I want to do.

Her name is blu, when I first got her she acted like that raptor blu in Jurassic park. Always giving me the eye and checking me out. Now she pays me no attention I’m just that tree that feeds her and let’s her hang out. I may need a new name for her as her personality has changed for the better. Hey sky you have any up to date pictures of your girls?

I kind of slowed down on posting because some people were offended by my practices and I was working hard not to offend anyone. Lil Bit of advice if you're doing educational shows homeowners insurance often covers if one of your pets bite somebody in a public setting. At least that's the way it is with USAA. I've never had an issue and I hope I never will. I hope to get more photos of this weekend at one of my shows. Here's what I have as most recent photos.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...edf5e0f38b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c214763bd7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d832259e50.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2241c0820b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...97b629865c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b8a1166d0e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...00dbeed92a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b5541ffee7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d73d080010.jpg

Wow they look great. Thanks for the advice, don’t worry so much about what people say. I think some people look at a picture with the intention of finding something to wine about. They have to much time on there hands. Again thanks for posting the pictures.

She's looking beautiful!

Thanks, I’m thinking about getting a male super drawl golden child het albino to pair with her once she is of breeding size and age.

Some things to think about. She might eat the boy if she rejects him. Also 4 to 5 years old to mature. Might want to take time to learn her and her habbits first. As an adult they change some in personality. Not always for tge bad. Rainbows personality has changed a little bit even though she's puppy dog tame has more opinion about what she wants to do and the direction she wants to go. She is still manageable but cleaning days and feeding days i have help.

I’m in no real rush. I’m use to dealing with snakes that are handfuls. I have a few carpet Pythons that make water bowl changing an Olympic sport. There favorite pass time is tag you are it again.:D
