I took the plunge! (WIRE pick up)

I am now the proud new owner of a male 50% Super Dwarf Retic! I've loved retics forever and when I saw this guy, I absolutely could not pass him up!

Introducing MAGNUS!

OOOooo, that is a hottie!!!

NICE!

Congrats! :)

Love those eyes. That's a nice looking snake.

Wow, you really stepped up!

Better be careful, when snakey gets bigger, keep Jason away...he'd make a nice little snack for the 'tic!

Yeah, I figured I'd get a childproof lock when he gets bigger.... :rolleyes:

looks awesome, I think you made a good call !:gj:

Congrats on the pickup

good luck :)

(hope you don't need it though :D)

killer looking snake!! ive always like retics but never really liked how big the normals got. what max size of the dwarfs??

Thanks! :D

Magnus is half super dwarf so it's hard to say exactly but we've been told by a few people that he'd end up 8-10 feet. Usually super dwarf males average about 6'

UH OH!!!!!!!!!!


Looks awesome....your gonna love him!

Ohhh.... awesome! I LOVE retics, and your boy is beautiful! CONGRATS girl. :clap: :banana:

It looks like it's getting crowded at your place, I think you may need to send more snakes over here. ;) :giggle:

Thats really beautiful. In my opinion, retics have the prettiest pattern of any snake. I just wish they wouldn't get so big.

I don't get the WIRE reference though. What does that mean? Is that the name of the business that produced it or something?

That's a gorgeous retic! I also think they have the nicest natural patterns and coloring. Those eyes are killer!

Nice pickup Mel!

We have plenty of room! Thanks for the concern, though, Christie! Appreciate it!

Thanks! I love their pattern! And the irridescence is unreal!
WIRE is WI Reptile Expo. It was in Madison on saturday. Small show but nice stuff! Jim Stelpflug just took it over and is hoping to expand next time around.

Thanks, Peter!

BTW- He was produced by Gerrick DeMeyer at crestedgecko.com

Hi,

Glad he should stay a managable size. :D

There is just something hypnotic about his eyes :O - is he trying to make you had over the rats?


dr del

I agree with Derek, those eyes are nuts

Anyone who hasn't held a retic NEEDS to, I really hadn't before the show, they feel velvety soft... its pretty unreal. I can't wait to see that famous feeding response either! :D

You two didn't buy anything for me? :tears: I feel so left out...










All kidding aside..GREAT looking animal! Very very nice pick up!

Thanks guys! Like Jason said, he's so incredibly smooth! I thought balls were smooth.... retics are in a whole nother league of smoothness. Or something. That didn't really make much sense but, you get the idea...

I love the name! He is a total DOLL!!! :D

Oh Melanie... he's GORGEOUS! :O

Those EYES!!!! Congrats girl, on such a pretty fella! :D

Thanks, Lena and Laura! I just gave him his second meal with us last night. No hesitation whatsoever! Awesomeness! I think this is the beginning of a beautiful snake ownership.... :D

Now I just have to work on MY relationship with that snake, he HATES me.... :(

Awww... I think you just catch him at bad times.... Or something...
