Retic growth rate: 5 months.

**TheSnakeGeek** · 07-23-2013, 06:10 PM

dad came by the house today and wanted to see the retic because he hadnt really seen him since i got him. he was amazed at how much my little worm had grown. we got him february 16th, so just a little over 5 months ago. i havent fed him like breeders usually do that want to get them up to size quicker. just one meal, a little larger than his girth, every sunday. he's only refused food one time while he was deep in shed, but every other time he's eaten right through his shed cycles. just goes to show how quick these guys grow. but the bigger he gets, the more i love him. i can definitely see myself getting a couple more of these eventually when i have more room.

February:

Today: i know he's a little longer than me so he's at least 6 feet now. maybe a couple inches longer.

i know i love seeing "before and after" pictures of snakes and their growth. figured some of you may too so i thought i'd share.

He's grown a lot! Very nice looking boy. Is he mainland or dwarf at all?

thanks. lol and he's a mainland so he's gonna be a big boy. the bigger he gets the more you can see the purple in him. i love it. they dont brown out like balls do so when he's 12 feet he's gonna look pretty as ever. i need to get some good quality pictures of him out in the sunlight. these pictures do his colors no justice.

Yes, that first year is amazing, isn't it? Love all three of the Albino phases and with the white and purples just really take my breath away. Good looking boy!

oh i cant wait to see how much he's grown after a full year. it fascinates me how any animal can start out so tiny and end up so huge. lol and funny thing is, i could really care less about albino BPs, but i love the albino retics.

He's such a handsome boy! Love seeing pictures of him. I can't wait until I can have one of my own.
