No to all of the above. if any, she's grown bigger(not big enough to take on rabbits/chickens tho...an adult quail or a baby rabbit perhaps) and her food acquisition's MUCH gentler than usual; remember what I said about my ball python? Even he strikes at food more aggressively than this retic. Slap me if I'm an idiot, but you believe this is because I got her used to PK prey (which I doubt....coz I give all of my pythons PK prey)?

With the typhoon alert (I live in the Philippines; my area's not that affected, but the same can't be said true for my less fortunate brothers/sisters), I'll give the vet a visit on Sunday MNL time (it's Friday evening right now).

@Fiend:

Yeah. Just to be safe. I'll drop by the vet's this sunday just to be safe. Too bad my retic already passed stools; not going to be "fresh" for the vet to examine.

BTW, you still have contact with some of the other regulars of bob clarks forums? Was hoping I'd get in touch with Moe and this other dude who once put up pictures of a retic that badly messed up her face thru pushing but healed very quickly after 2 weeks (and added that retics' healing abilities are often underestimated and usually requires no antibiotics...). Hope they've already found this forum
