How can I grow my Retic slowly?

[jagolden]

I am getting my first Retic for Christmas! I can't wait and I'm so excited. I'm getting a mainland tiger boy and was wondering how I should go upon growing him slowly. I want him to be a healthy size but not a huge monster.

The final size isn't dependent on how slow they grow they gonna reach their mature length even if you slow grow them. Slow growing isn't healthy really either in my mind they are getting smaller sized food then they need or not enough. There are more knowledgeable people with tics that can tell you more that's just what I've learned on slow growing

If you don't want a huge monster, than maybe you should rethink whether a retic is right for you. Size is dependent on species, not food intake.

Look at a dwarf line one maybe? Those stay smaller some under ten

What's a huge monster to you?

It doesnt work that way. My mom tried that with me and once i hit 200lbs she just gave up. Im on jumbo rats now man...

Nessie is just misunderstood, not a monster. :p

Lol..Yeah dwarf retics are cool, but they are a tad more expenseevo than the normal ones I've found.
Hm..Yeah..if you're already getting him, you're going to have to deal with a gigantic snake eventually anyway. If you handle him often, and condition him to handling so that he's somewhat tame, you should have no problem with it. If you have the muscle mass and took time to handle and tame, big snakes usually aren't too bad.

They have super dwarf retics too.

Reptileexperts knows a lot about 'tics. Id PM him if he doesnt comment.
