Rainbow is my new SunTiger female reticulated python progression.

They truly are amazing animals. Retics were the one species I was obsessed with but never had growing up and after becoming and adult and being by out of the hobby for 12 years my wife suprised me with my platinum as an early birthday present last year. They are by far my favorite animals I've ever had. I like seeing your pictures of rainbow, tigers have always been my favorite.

They are one of my favorite species to work with as well. I love the big personalities they have. I also love that it requires continued interaction to maintain that bond. They not only require respect but demand it every day every time but can also be a rewarding and fun experience. They also have so many amazing morphs and the normal looks amazing as well.

Fed her last night because she was hungry and I had a rat defrosted for the boa I rescued but the rescue did not eat. Guess she will be on a 2 week feeding from now on. I reached in to pet Rainbow this morning to check on he and she pushed my hand away, politely saying, "I AM DIGESTING!". I was not going to take her out but just checking on her. She loves her new home and uses every inch of it. The part with the cave on it is on the top level and beside the couch. She knows when I get home I open it and she can come out and interact some. She is so intelligent. She knows how to ask for food. Tell you no, leave me alone. She also sees me as safety if she doesn't like someone. Not sure if it is just me putting out calm vibes or her knowing that I would protect her, but I love that about her. She is majestic, powerful, and wonderful. Love my girl.

Do you think she is getting fat? Or is she bulking up for winter and will dump into length come spring. 12 feet 33lbs.

So I got Rainbow Jan 15, 2018 at 5 lbs and 7 feet..... This weekend at the pet store we took a string to measure her length she is now 12 feet 3 inches with some margin of error. She weighs 33.5 lbs. She is such a amazing animal. Do the math. Almost 1 year of growth for a Mainland from age 2 to 3, 28.5lbs and 5 feet and 3 inches. Shedding every month and half still. Her poop rivals my Great Dane's poop in size. Super friendly and amazing. I am so lucky and thankful. I can only hope Aurora turns out this nicely. I love this girl.

Holy @#^*%! Is that normal? My wife would shoot me if I had a snake like that!

IDK just keeping track of my girl. She is amazing and I am sure by next year she will be leveling out, or I hope she will be.

Wow, that's some serious growth.
Do you still manage to handle her alone? Must be a bit dodgy at that size?

She is easy to handle alone. She is so calm and easy going. I do reptile shows with her with no fear as kids and adults alike handle her. People brag about how easy going she is.

Photos from last night. Opened her door and out she came. Climbed on top of her enclosure to look around. 30 to 45 min of exploring then back home she went. Was right there with her the entire time.
