Thanks man! She crushes a medium no problem and hardly has a lump any more. As we speak she's eating Geoffrey's 75g small after her 110g medium from her water bowl, which she immediately climbed into after her first rat. I think some of her pushing may have been protests for a larger bowl and a larger hide.
She could easily take a large rat but I'm keeping her on a diet for right now so she hopefully doesn't exceed 9-10' before her second birthday. I may move to larger soon but then she's going to 10 day intervals whether she likes it or not. Tough love Phyllis haha

Haha good luck with that. I tried tough love on Caesar and he got 2 scrapes on his chin from it. I've pretty much conceded that Caesar is going to be 10' lol. The large rats are the only thing that keeps him quiet. Anything smaller and he is saying "look at me!!" by smushing his face into the left side, right side, bottom and even the top of the glass door.....yes he even braces himself on the lower dam and smushes his face into the top dam haha.
But the plus side is he has been completely quiet the past 3 days. He did play under his paper towels though and did look over at me when I was straightening them out this morning but he didn't seem really hungry. I'm actually liking the paper towels for him to tell you the truth. Makes clean up easy as you know, retics piss all the time and funny part is he seems to actually enjoy the paper towels as he can slide around under them and stuff. I'll definitely keep the boas, BP and dumerils on ReptiChips but debating on Caesar.
Oh and 1 other weird thing is when he was on aspen and ReptiChips, he used his hides a lot. Now on paper towels he doesn't use his hides. He shoves them around but is much happier to just sit out more now.

If she starts pushing again I'll just fill the gap in the door track again haha. When she gets a bigger cage I'm gonna see if AP will make an insert so that the bottom door track is flush with the highest point of the litter dam. Then there's nowhere to jam their faces into

Hadn't posted Phyllis in a little while. This picture makes her look way small. She's been perfectly content to just hang out on my shoulders for like half an hour. Such a calm animal outside of her cage. She took a shot at the hook and then wildly in the air as I was getting her out but then chill as can be once she's being handled.

Dude!! Phyllis is just a thick as Caesar!! Shoelace my butt lol. Might be the pics but I'd bet she is thicker than Caesar. Caesar is about 1.5" in diameter at his fattest part, maybe 2" tops. Looks good though. Lol wish Caesar sat quiet like that haha. He used to be fairly quiet as a baby. Maybe he now more used to me but that guy never sits still now. That 2nd pic, Phyllis looks like she has a pretty burly head. Looks a lot bigger than Caesar but sometimes pics can distort stuff.
Lol guess it's reversed now. You got the calm retic and I got the spazz one who always wants move move move!! So maybe females are more laid back than males haha.
It will be interesting to see if Gerald's temperament changes when he hits breeding age with a female around. I've heard some males get 'crazy' during breeding season. Heck will be interesting to see what all of our males do when breeding age comes.
And yeah Caesar took a shot at my shadow in the cage when he was hungry haha. Heck even my little worm, Rango took a shot at the cage wall when he saw my finger shadow on it. That little worm is always hungry too. Heck all my snakes always want food except Dottie. Everyone instantly perks up when the doors are open.
Anyways, Phyllis looks like she's filling out nicely and mellowing out.

Kalatoa 100% Pure SD Retic Progression (Pic heavy...)
Well I went and jinxed myself. Accidentally bumped her nose just barely right now and she latched on to my forearm like a vice. Finally let go and as I was going put her back in her cage she went towards the bite mark and started to open her mouth on it like she was going to eat my f*****g my arm. Post pics or no? It's already bruising lol

A couple seconds after she let go, still had some crazy strong coils gripping my hands together.
After I cleaned it up. All six rows of teeth clearly represented
Never get too comfortable folks. Show respect and read your animals closely. SHE (stupid handling error) wasn't paying attention to where her head was and spooked her and she responded accordingly. Can't blame her. I'm sure we'll both have our guards up a bit for interactions in the near future
