Some of the 'big uns'

[mason]

A few pictures of some of our retics, I don't think i've ever posted any of these on here before, apologies if I have.

1.0 albino, white phase. USCB2005 been with us since '07







1.0 Bali yellowhead. WC06 been with us since then. One of our best retics to handle, gets used for open days/lectures etc etc.









He has a couple of adult YH lady friends who I can't seem to find any recent or even decent pictures of but did find some old/bad pictures of one of his biatches, I think this is the 0.1 Seram YH who was WC 2001/02:





She's a little thicker than that now but is around the 11' mark and has been in the country for at least 5 years so must be considered an adult.

0.1 Tiger, USCB2006 Again these aren't that recent, she's around 16' now, not a massive tiger but one of my favorite snakes. Doesn't bite but does have what we like to call a 'strong personality'







0.1 madu, WC circa 2006/7
She's around 6' and getting no bigger!





1.0 Kayaudi, UKCB2007 5' and as thick as a good sized corn snake!







0.1 WC circa 2005 unknown locale, odd colour with some striping. Pictures don't do her justice (especially not these awful ones) but in the flesh she almost seems to lack a colour. Fully adult and around 10' and slender.







Retics are amazing, up there in my favorite species to keep and interact with. Thankfully their popularity over here in the UK is growing, more morphs are being produced here (I like to buy local rather than ship from the states where poss).

I'm sure you're all bored now, so i'll stop.

Good looking snakes. I bet your neighbors flip when you take them outside.

Gorgeous.

Every time I look at picture of giant snakes like these, all I can think is, "Some day..."

Love how they wrap around the tree, how did you get them off?

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread, I noticed you got some cool lookin tattoo on your right arm in the first picture. May I see some pictures of it?

[scutechute]

That second to last picture is awesome.

Very beautiful snakes, thanks for sharing those pics!

Awesome collection! That YH boy is gonna make some pretty babies!

[icygirl]

Whoa! Those are some incredible animals you have there. I'm really, really impressed!!

Is the Madu supposed to have a sort of lump on her nose?

The white phase albino is incredible.

Also, cool tattoo on your left arm! What does that symbolize/mean?

Thanks for the comments all

@ icy girl - good spot, when we first got th Madu girl she was a face rubber (can be quite common in retics). A setup change soon sorted that and the raised area you can see on her face was the last of the swelling to go away once she stopped. It's all gone now, i need to take more recent pictures, all of these picures are quite old now.

@Priobull

I'd only recommend letting a retic you REALLY trust (Like the two boys pictured, both dog-tame) to get a good grip on anyhting like that tree because you have two ways of getting them off, unwrapping them manually (only possible if tame) or waiting :lol:

You try unwrapping a feisty one from a tree and you'd better have a shield with you



Tattoo on my left arm is my ex girlfriends name thankfully written in Hindi :lol: I'll try and dig up some photos of my sleeve, there's actually a lizard in it somewhere so it's sort of relevant

All the outdoor pictures are taken on my private property, and I don't make a habit of taking any large snakes out there when anyone is around. Those two retics (Bali YH and albino) are both relatively small boys and trustworthy. I'd never go photographing any of the larger ones where anyone who was bothered could see. Honestly I don't think the neighbours even realise we keep reptiles.
