    If she's a mainland, expect her to likely hit a major growth spurt once she starts eating normally with you...she's only 2 years old, so she may not actually grow too awfully much too quick, either. Either way, don't expect that 6' enclosure to last long!
    I just want her happy and healthy. I don't mind big. She will have climbing platforms and logs to enjoy as well.

    She’ll be here before you know it! Then once she’s there for awhile it will seem like you didn’t wait at all.

    I cant even think how difficult it is to wait weeks or months for a new pet to arrive. She will not be here till Wednesday. Paid for her last Wednesday. 2 more days of waiting. I have her enclosure ready and up to temp just waiting on her. She will be in quarantine for a few weeks and in a slightly smaller enclosure till then. So excited.

    I just finished waiting over 3 months for a pair of Retics to be shipped last month, because the weather has been so horrible this winter... lol They were definitely worth the wait! How old is this girl at 7'/5 pounds?

    Was told she was hatched March of 2016. If so, right at 2 years old. Seams small for a female reticulated python that age. Neither of her parents were dwarf or SD. Here mom was 18 feet long when she was laid.
