We have a bingo!

Yeah I have heard nothing but good about them. I met Kris 3 years ago at an expo and he was decent.

Based on Repilexperts' videos, I knew percentages were important and parental background as well.

If things are what they are, this guy will be perfect for me.

Neither my BC or carpet ended up as large as I wanted, but they are both awesome. I'm hoping this fella hits 8'-9' and I can set his display cage up the way I want.

I'll post more pictures when he arrives.

HUGE thanks to my wife for giving in one more time!

His name is Wallace.

Gorgeous Retic! You're going to love it! I want a SD tiger badly. May breed my Kalatoa to a buddy's SD tiger in a couple years when she's up to size

Way to venture into the land of giants Gio.

Thank you sir.


Giants yes, but hopefully not too giant. I love everything about this species. Some believe they are completely terrestrial with age, but I've seen amazing videos and photos of HUGE retics climbing up trees and perching. Some video footage reveals retics that are lightening fast for their size shooting up trees, even faster than the known, semi arboreal carpet pythons climb. (Love Carpets).

I have always enjoyed snakes that combine terrestrial behavior with arboreal behavior. "Semi-Arboreal". My boa and carpet are there and exhibit those behaviors quite often, my son's little royal will have a climb now and then too, but I think retics are usually overlooked when it comes to climbing and perching.

Obviously setups for giants are not always easy to make into naturalistic habitats.

I'm hoping I can provide something special for my new guy, and that he stays long and agile.

Time will tell.

I've done the homework, I've read up on the biology and habits, I've prepared, I'm ready; but the exciting part is that it is still an unknown and unexperienced species that I'm dealing with.

This is new ground that I'm on treading on and I'm open to advice and suggestions from folks with REAL experience.

BTW,

No breeding or anything like that. ALL of my animals are for the sole purpose personal of enjoyment, relaxation and they are of deep interest to me in regards to their biology and behaviors.

This animal along with the others will get the most stimulating environment I can reasonably offer.

Thanks to all who have responded with kind and encouraging words.

Gotta love those FedX trucks that come between 1030 and Noon!

I'll start a new thread with pictures when the time comes.
