    New purple Retic male.

    Have always wanted a retic. This is gonna be more of a pet. I always love the feed response of the big snakes.

    You should learn aboout the habits of your animals before you acquire them.

    You are housing that animal as if it were a bp. It is NOT. It is, however, quite beautiful.

    Chris,

    Thanks for your reply. How do you suggest I house the snake? Ihave been feeding him crickets and goldfish. Do you think that meets his nutritional requirements?......

    Purty retic. If I may add my ... I kept one of my SD retics in a tub like that for a few months. The only problem I ever saw was she desperately wanted out every time I opened it. She is much more relaxed in a big display cage. I have been told that babies may feel safer in a tub though. I'm sure you will accommodate him as he grows. Really you should try feeding him some jello and snake sausages too. I hear they love em!

    Re: New purple Retic male.

    Foschi,

    I plan on keeping him in a tub until he gets a little bigger. He is prettly laid back in there right now. I do have plans for a 6ft AP cage in the near future. Probably gonna plan on picking it up at Tinley in OCT. I know thye dont get stressed out in bigger enclosures like BP's do but he is doin good in the rack so far and dont see the need for a big cage right now.

    For the record I tried to feed him some jello with cool whip and he didnt take it. Maybe lactose intolerant? Mumps any ideas why he isnt eating?

    Sarcasm isn't your strong point.
