Too many polls.. My SD Retic experience so far
Whats up with all the polls on this forum?
Anyway. I have my new SD Retic girl and I am facinated by her every day. My whole life, (well, since I learned of them years ago) I have wanted a Retic but couldnt house such a large snake. Id go to the local reptile stores and always look at them and hold the ones I could handle.
Now I have my Super Dwarf and everyone was right about how different they are. This girl is the most aware snake I have ever seen. And man is she FAST!
Very easy to handle but she has her days like anything else. Hates going back into her tub and she lets me know.
She will hold perfectly still if I hold her behind the head to check her head or eyes. She watches my every move if Im anywhere near her. One day I opened the tub just a little and she popped out for a second, saw I had no rat for her and slipped right back in. So I pulled it open a bit more and she popped out again and back in just as fast. We did this 3 times and I was laughing so hard.
These guys really do seem to have a personality. She will tilt her head and look at me. Always seems to be thinking about something. If there is an intelligent snake out there that operates on more than just instinct then these guys are it.
Best choice I ever made
Now it just needs to warm up here so I can get her a boyfriend!

Beautiful girl... her colors blend in a nice rich gradient. Lovely.
In that last photo you can almost see the wheels turning in her mind.... No doubt she'll be an adventure. Thanks for posting the pics.

Re: Too many polls.. My SD Retic experience so far
SD Retic is definitely on my list. When I do, I only intend to get one, since I'm more fascinated with breeding BPs, but I've always wanted something daunting like a giant python, but knew I could never house something so big. Then I just recently noticed the Super Dwarfs. I thought, "Wow, my dream has become reality."
I will for sure be picking one of those beauties up somewhere down the line.
0.1 '09 Normal Ball Python - Sheva
1.0 Crested Gecko - Sol
1.0 SHTCTB Leopard Gecko - Paradox
1.0 Cockatiel - Mo (Mohawk)
0.1 Peachfaced Lovebird - Bean
0.2 Mischievous, long-haired cats - Moxxi and Azura
And 1.0 incredible, loving husband.
