Beautiful snake, looks very satisfied with that meal

Beautiful white-phase!

That particle board you are using for the enclosure walls is terrible stuff. With all the humidity in the enclosure (I hope), it's going to swell and rot. When you upgrade to a bigger enclosure, don't use it again.

I know I'll get slack for this, but she's awful small for an '08.

this whitephase female was mine and has always eaten very very good!
not every retic is the same when it comes to growth, i also had retics the same age passing the 10+ft, this female just doesnt, no nead to say that this female is too small for her age, she isnt!, she has eaten my ass off when she lived here, maybe some dwarf influences in her background?, dont know
but so simply saying that this female is to small for her age is wrong in my eyes, and i also feel the need to say that a lot of very big retics i see from a year old and abnormal sizes are heavily powerfed, and never had a moment that they wherent digesting food, i like my retics to become old, so i feed on a normal base, and thats also a lot, but not to much!!.....

for example: big betty from germany, maybe a upcoming record length holder to beat fluffy, but she gets a adult sheep, every month!, on this schedule she wont get old, this is heavily exaggerated in my eyes!!, she's one big to fat female in my eyes, its not all about getting them very big as soon as possible

I agree with mumps, especially since she is a female. Males normally top out at 6 feet when they are a year old, and females should be significantly bigger. She is gorgeous, though. Also, ANY wood at all will soak up the humidity from the cage, this is why people generally use plastic or melamine cages.
