Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

He will be 2 years old in 16 days.

Anybody ever wonder what it is like to handle a 7 foot retic?

It isn't as difficult as some may think.

Excuse his patchy coloring between the eyes. It is improving after some stuck shed a while back.

Note, this is a one hand job. At least it was last night. He can get quite busy however last night was perfect.

Here are some shots for perspective. You can see he curls up and when he does, he doesn't dwarf my hand.

He's fed well and has become very interactive with me.

I find it hard to believe that I can handle him like this, after seeing how big he looks in his cage.

However I bought a male SD X Dwarf for this very reason.

Another 2 - 2.5 feet of length and a bit more girth will not be an issue for me when handling with this animal.

He is looking great! Rainbow is a lot more active for the first 15 min then she poops and pees and calms down and hugs me for warmth.

He's a gorgeous animal Gio.

Thanks for the kind words.

Funny, I just had my boa out today and he made Wallace feel like a paper weight.

The boa constrictor is NOT a one hander LOL!

Wish Caesar would curl up like that haha. My god, he is like a 10 hander when you get him out. Dude is like 'OMG, FRRREEEDDDOOMMMM' and he climbs all over me like a jungle gym and gets all grabby when i walk past stuff or decides he wants to walk himself and goes to the floor lol.

HA!

I do have many days like that, but even still,,,,, the boa is MUCH more massive even if half a foot, or a foot shorter.

The day he arrived here at almost 4 months old.

And his most recent pictures.

His head has really grown.

Enjoy your day and being king of the constrictors!
