From this:
To This:
The size increase warrants new caging.
I'm very close to unveiling the new 6' x 30" x 2' naturalistic cage. I plan on finishing things up this weekend and getting the royal moved back into the
48" x 24" x 14" cage. Wallace has been doing quite well in that one, but having 2 feet of ceiling in the new cage will make getting him out much easier.
They do grow fast!

Flash.
No flash.
Post bath he went for his hide.
It appears a properly fed and raised retic will still be lean, firm and fit into spaces you wouldn't expect them to fit into at certain lengths.
Handling this species is fun, but not relaxing at least in my limited experience, I find royals, boas and carpet pythons more suited for "hanging around" and relaxing with.
Late to this thread, but wow, pretty boy!
I have heard the same thing about retics taking some work to handle.
I am happy with my BP and BCI. My corn snake is totally chill, but all over the place in a 650G package. I could not imagine that in something Wallace's size.
They are supposed to be very intelligent and pretty interactive though. That sounds awesome.
Anyway, enjoy your big boy and keep us posted on the new setup.
Very cool!

Well, I guess motivation took over LOL!
I posted a lot more in the "Caging" forum but he's going in here tomorrow!
Go to the Caging section if you want to see a bit more of this beauty!

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

You know, i was thinking, its pretty wild how Wallace is the same percent SD as Caesar but higher percent dwarf and lower mainland, yet he's probably close to Caesar's size. And our feeding schedule is like night and day. You feed smaller food once every month where as i feed Caesar an XL guinea pig or jumbo rat every 7-10 days. Just goes to show people, feeding plays a little into it as well as genetics but a lot of it will be due to how much of what gene the snakes 'use'.
