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'.
Very true.
I haven't seen prominent spurs on Wallace. I'll check when I can, but I suppose there is an outside chance he could be a she.
Another thought I have is Wallace has the SD influence from the male side rather than the female, which may or may not influence his size.
He also has that Tiger gene which initially was know for size. He's thickens up a lot and I'm wondering if he is topping off now.
What exactly does Caesar have in him and what parent is the SD from?
I'll post some new pictures when I can, he loves the new cage and I have that front perch finished now.
It awesome and he LOVES this cage he's all over the perches and it is super entertaining.
He's also big now.

Caesar is white albino tiger het snow. I'm actually not sure which parent was a SD. i never asked Kris. He is a big boy as you can see from some of the pics, his head size is pretty huge. And yeah, Caesar has thickened up but he still seems to be growing too but not nearly as much as when he was a baby. I actually havent seen spurs on Caesar but i really havent looked either. Maybe Caesar is a girl too lol. So far he hasnt shown any aggression for wanting a girlfriend. He just seems to want food...
And yeah, Caesar likes to curl up and sleep on top of his shelf.

Keep me posted. I believe when the SD is from the female side the eggs and hatchies tend to be smaller down the road.

Snake and setup look great. I agree, naturalistic setups are a whole lot more appealing to me than spartan cages and racks.

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

Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!
My god man, that's a great looking enclosure. If I ever get Gerald a 6' cage I'm definitely doing perches like that. I may even make one for Phyllis, though she'd probably break it. She weighed in two days ago at 18.5lbs. Also getting her hides out would be a bit more difficult as she's in the RBI jumbo hides and fills them tight

The perches in this cage sans the front one easily weigh 20+ pounds and are the same thickness as railroad ties.
You just need heavy duty closet rod mounts. Your AP cage would easily accept them. AP makes a beautiful cage and I was so close to going that route.
Thanks as always for the nice comment.
I'm looking forward to seeing where Gerald finishes up in growth.
These retics are fun once the routine is figured out.
