Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

[RamMac]

More clean up, and sometimes I get annoyed handling him. Usually its good, but occasionally he starts out great and then becomes a juggling act. He's really a good boy for the most part, but I'm very partial to boa constrictors and carpet pythons.

The extra precaution I have to take is due to the insane feeding response. If it is close to feeding day or shortly after, a noise on the side of the cage will cause a rapid advance to the door.

Nothing too difficult, but you really do have to stick to protocol to make sure you don't take a bite.

I wish you had the littermate too so we could compare notes, but Sauzo is my man when it comes to the Vital Exotics SD x Dwarf stuff these days.

You keep doing what you are doing, I think your decision was the right move at this stage.

I follow all of the SD/D threads here. I'm living vicariously through you all in case I end up with another retic in the future.

At this point your collection is equal to mine with 4 snakes. We differ only in the retic and WL python species we own.

I even have two dogs. I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of pets here.

One more of Wallace that I didn't post when he was out and about the other day.

Yes, very similar collection. I also care for a crested gecko but he's my son's so I don't include him. WOW... Wallace looks great Gio.

Options make these guys interesting.

Retics are excellent climbers. Wallace spends most evenings "hanging" out.

At 1 year 3 months old, a male, SD x Dwarf x Mainland reticulated python is very manageable. at least mine is.

I took these pictures to show folks, that a snake in the 6' plus range is still easy to handle.

When I use the term "one hander" this is what I mean.



He's not heavy, and when he's calm he's a breeze to handle. I'll be very curious to see where he's at after he hits the 2 year mark.

If you know who you're buying from, what the genetics of the snake are and what your own limitations are, you certainly should be able to keep and maintain this species.

Wallace is looking GREAT Gio. Nice growth too.

Sorry I'm very busy with family and activities.

I still have the snakes and all are great.

Here is the latest Wallace picture.

He is maybe 7 feet maybe a tad less and lean and mean.

He looks smoking Gio! Probably a little bigger than Gerald now
