Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

[reptileexperts]

This post is like Graceland!

You are, IMO THE authority on the species here!

And yes folks, somebody that actually does have a biology major with the focus on animals.

Cody, I'd love to see more from you in regards to this species, but I know your venomous collection is time consuming.

I'm actually flattered you posted in this thread.

Thank you, and great to see you here!

I just posted a small update showing the ones we still keep. I still love our giants and they play a massive role in our education events. The bigger hiccup was moving and changing my reptile room up so it’s hard to get in there and shoot videos or even some newer photos. So I utilize when I have them tubbed to get photo updates for my own records and of course to share. You’re doing good with yours. Keep it up!

I'm glad you haven't abandoned the board. I'd love to see another educational and informative update on these SD X Dwarf retics.

I think Wallace is close to being topped off at 8-9 feet. I do not feed weekly, actually every 2-4 weeks seems about perfect.

This board, and particularly the Giant Python forum has been lacking without your participation.

You made my day by posting here!

I like setting up the vivs almost as much as getting new animals.

Glad you enjoy them.

I feel like when family members and friends go down to that room they can really enjoy it because of the zoo like feel.

I absolutely love your setups! They look phenomenal. I tried zooming in to see how you have the perches/climbing dowels attached but am still not sure. Would you be able to do a quick run down on how you installed them and what you used? (Or if you've already done so in a different thread, point me in the right direction?) I don't have any shelves in our PVC enclosures and am trying to think of ways to better utilize the space.

Page 6 of the Caging forum has the information you want.

The post is called New Kingdom 👍🐍

I love the tiger pattern and love the white stripes too.

I do tend to like the tiger patterns that have a more blacks on the sides. Wallace doesn't have the real contrasty look, but still he's beautiful.

Thanks for the nice comment.

What dramatic changes in the last few years.

A young Wallace, right out of the bag. (2016)


Well behaved as a little guy.




He grew quickly.




The length came, but he did stay slender and fit.




No more one handed handling.


And here he is in 2019.


He's about perfect in size, maybe slightly larger than I was hoping for, but he's not huge. I'm hoping he doesn't change much in the next year.



3 years old.


A lot of repeat photos, actually they all are however I needed to update the "progression" thread.
Now you can see where he started and what he looks like this week.
