    Re: Retic has a "not so retic" feeding response: Not unheard of?

    Something is definitely wrong. I tried to read the link but it wouldn't come up ("cannot display webpage").

    Even with moderate feeding, a 3 year old female non-dwarf/superdwarf retic should be at least twelve feet...

    The link works just fine on my end. Friend of mine from Canada could also open it. Basically necropsy pix done on a few snakes that were force fed and another that had a LOT of fats inside.

    As for the retic, well...for certain she's not of imported stock (I'm guessing somewhere based in the Philippines, where I live) but I'm quite sure she's not from the Indonesian/Thai mainland stock, and based the price the store offered me when I rescued her (if I'm not mistaken on the currency exchange, he agreed to let me have her for roughly $US16.00), I doubt if she's from the Jampea stock. The first few times I had her checked as part of her check up (see long post above), she's cleared so far. Nevertheless, I'm interested to have her checked again tomorrow (once the typhoon alert's lifted of course).

    Feeding wise, she hasn't skipped meals ever (except shed) and her temperament can be comparable to a gentle corn snake/ball python.

    Her pic in the first post was taken jsut a few months ago...I hope that gives you a rough idea on how "big" my retic in question is. My cousin who posed with her is roughly 5'5".

    Once you go Retic, you get the best pick!
