He's in a QT tub for now but I can't wait to give him more space as he grows. He'll end up in an 8x2x2 or 8x2x4 if I can. He perches most nights and hides most days so I can see him spending time in the trees and on the ground. I'll definitely add an arboreal hide to his adult enclosure. Oh, and of course HE LOVES FOOD!
I LOVE Wallace, he and Jewel are two of my forum faves, and I knew if I ever got a retic it would be a tiger or GC. I'll admit I was a little intimidated by their teeth and potential ferocity so I went with a slightly less monstrous option . The pee and poop stories didn't help either. I'm content though. I love seeing the beauty and diversity of all these awesone critters.
Hey Zig,
I may be mistaken, but I believe scrubs have every bit the teeth length that retics have and then some.
I don't expect Wallace to grow more than 9 feet maybe not over 8.5, hard to say what he's at now exactly. He's not a heavy waste elimination monster. He's on par with both the carpet and boa. I tad more if I feed him more, but that would hold true if I fed the boa and carpet more as well.
I would really love to own a scrub and my retic I have an interest in both. I'm really not surprised the retic is so arboreal, but am surprised he's the most arboreal in the house.
I think both species are very similar, which is why I'd like to hear from somebody who has both.
I think the fact my fella has a significant amount of dwarf, and a decent amount and SD keeps him lean, mean and active. There is only 18% mainland in his genetics.

That feeling when you know you are being stalked.
He was deep in his hide when I went into the room, I turned my back for a minute or two and then caught Wallace zeroing in on my activities.
Needless to say, I decided it might be time to thaw some food!

That sneaky buster looks great Gio!
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Yeah, I figured I better check in these past few days.

I tried getting some stretched out photos, but they really didn't amount to what I was hoping for.
He was hidden behind his water bowl for the most part, and my angle was not good. I think he's 8.5 - 9 feet long. He has to be topping off now as his mid/lower body thickness is coming up a lot. His head is giant compared to the rest of the crew here as well.

Thanks,
That setup is pretty easy. The floor is fairly clear. One water bowl and one hide.
Level 2 was a bit more involved but certainly worth the effort!
Thanks for looking.

Beautiful setup for a beautiful snake. My favorite Retic pattern. It’s amazing how fast Retics grow, just incredible. Looks like you picked a winner for sure.
