    That behavior (submerging) seems to be similar to my guy's at an early age.

    Wallace would go into his bowl shortly after eating a screw around going in and out and flushing water all over the cage.

    I use a combination of coco just and either bark or cypress so it absorbs some of it.

    He's older now and seems less into the submersion.

    You may have a hard time if your girl is projected to get big. Perches and ceiling in a very large cage for most hobbyists may not be practical at all.

    If I could, I'd have a much larger cage for my guy.

    A buddy here, EL-Ziggy has a scrub and an olive amongst his other awesome captives.

    I'm sure you and Zig would have a lot to chat about when it comes to scrubs.

    Your girl will get a lot larger than my retic, but I'll bet she'll be a lot more mellow.

    Again, congrats on the new pickup!

    Yea, we chatted a bit in the thread I made dedicated to the scrub.

    She's supposed to get very big, so I'll definitely need to move out of my apartment, which I'm planning to do next year to my own house.

    Plus I have an alligator snapper I have to house, so most of my pets are gonna get big!

    She ate! Easily and instead of a mouse, what she is used to eating, I tried a rat. Success!

    Bumped her up to small rats and she did good. She did grab onto my tongs, claiming them for herself, but she finally let go and tried again.

    Re: Alice, The Titanium Reticulated Python

    Got to love the retics for their curiosity. They play with things, move things around, and both of mine love interaction.

    Would you say that your experience over all has been a good one with her? Mine are thriving and wonderful creatures.

    Yea, this is my first experience with a retic, and I am pretty stunned how curious she is. Her head is always out of her hide. You walk by and she's like oh what's going on? (Though sometimes striking the tub) And you take off the lid and she thinks its time to go. And she's a spaz when eating with a ravenous appetite.

    One morning I was turning back over one of her hides on one side and she was totally in her hide on the other side. She struck at me from her hide across the full length of the tub (3 feet). I am pretty surprised with how brazen she is.

    I haven't started handling her yet, but I probably will soon. Definitely need to get her accustomed to handling before she gets really big. The breeder was obviously slow feeding her, and I'm not, so I already see noticeable growth.
