    Reinz used mirror clips screwed into the top of cage so the hides can be removed. I think there is a post where he shows the exact ones he used, just got to search for it.

    Yeah I agree, I ended up going with a retic despite my interest in aussies, I fell in love with one at the reptile show and I had to have him.

    Good choice. You wont be disappointed. They are so interactive and will watch you lol. Whats funny is when Caesar sees me, he doesn't really pay too much attention as he is used to me but when he sees someone he doesn't know, he instantly looks at them and then comes forward lol. He doesn't back down.

    Be ready for a handful though. When Caesar doesn't want to hang out, he just doesn't stop moving lol. He's almost long enough he can just reach the floor while sitting on my arms so he's learning that is good idea when he doesn't want to be held haha.

    And they eat like no ones business. Last night I fed Caesar a quail again and after he ate, he was still in food mode and when I came by, he glued his face to the glass door with his mouth open rubbing it all over haha. It was totally a scene from Aliens where that FaceHugger started sucking on the glass tube trying to get to that corporate guy when they first checked out the lab. It was hilarious. After that, he just sat there and looked at me like "See what I did there!!??"

    Personally I'd go and shop around in person, until you see and handle a snake you can't really get a feel for it. Most of my snakes I bought online, some arrived and were very aggressive and took some time to tame them down. I actually sold a few that I decided not to get into that project to breed, still trying to unload a few and buy a few more. Of course I'm looking at breeding, looking at pretty high end snakes and ones that I really enjoy working with. I recently picked up a Super Dwarf reticulated python, I'm still working on taming him down but if you want a really cool snake and can afford it I'd go for that one, especially the white / lavender / purple albinos, which are my favorite. And if you decided to breed it you'd make some good money. The thing I really like about the dwarf and super dwarf retics is that they cross them with the mainland retics and get all the morphs, almost as many morphs as ball pythons. You can't get that variety with any other snake besides getting a ball python. If you do go the retic route be sure to get a low percentage of mainland blood and a higher percentage of dwarf and super dwarf, otherwise you'll end up with a monster.
