Hi,

By "breed" do you mean species, or from the same clutch, or same genetic make-up?

Wallace is a SD/Dwarf Reticulated Python.

His make-up is: Tiger, 100% Het Snow (Purple, Albino & Anery) He's 37.5% SD and 43.75 Dwarf. The rest is Mainland.

He'll be 2 years old June 1st.

Thanks for commenting on his colors. Retics seem to get better with age!

Duh Ricky, is not a dog! I mean genetic make up?

I found a picture of Gene, and yeah they look different. Thanks Gio

Wallace is looking great!!! I can't wait to see the finished enclosure. And the pic showing the manageability at 6+feet is great, thanks for sharing.

Two nights ago I had Wallace out.
If he's calm he's still a "one hander".


He didn't stay mellow and I ended up getting a little irritated.
I ended up sitting with him and put a blanket over him and he was content.
This picture shows him heading for the floor.


Beautiful boy.

Our Presa Canario, N'zo. He's 8 years old +. He's in excellent health and has been RAW his whole life.
I figured he'd add some variety to the thread.

Nice! Wallace is looking good as ever! That's about the same size River was at that age, but now she's nearly twice the size almost 2 years later. XD She fell behind because of various issues (which I think you may have saw in my thread), but I'm hoping she'll make up for lost time now that she seems to be back up to speed.

If I have time to sit down when I visit River next, maybe I'll grab a photo of her. It will have to be a phone pic, because I am not risking taking my DSLR over there. LMAO The person pet-sitting River and Cloud for me has a couple of dogs, and one of them got ahold of my phone and cracked the screen straight through the heavy duty phone case. That crack has now translated into a screen-wide shatter after I dropped it last week, and my phone is having to be repaired/replaced...so not gonna chance that with my camera!

He should dramatically slow in growth by June, his 2nd Bday.
I was able to get a rough measurement of him. He's 7 feet and roughly 3-4 inches.

I'm hoping we top at 8.5 to 9 feet.

He has a fair amount of SD in him at 37+% and an even great amount of dwarf 43+%.

I'm happy with his current size and don't foresee feeding him anything more than large rats or quail.

Wallace looks amazing Gio! Your boy N'zo is a beauty too. PCs are one of my favorite canines. My buddy has a pair and they're pretty badass too but much darker than N'zo.

Ah. Read the post of him being 6.5' or so, I figured he might still be about that size. XD River was only an inch or two over 7' on the month of her 2nd birthday, so they're definitely still growing similarly.

River is only about 9' now, and she'll be 4 in Oct. I fully expect her to grow at least another few feet, now that she appears healthy again, and I'm temporarily feeding her weekly again to make up for her previous issues. She hasn't really grown any in maybe 6-8 months, but she's still maybe 1.5'+ longer than she was a year ago, she just tends to grow in bursts.
