Just joined the retic club

In her temp cage right now, but just wanted you all to see my new tiger het purple girl. She's got some stuck shed and is a little underweight but those are both easy to fix.

No more stuck shed

Congrats. Retics are the best!!!!!

[Artemisace]

She's awesome and such a different animal from my ball pythons or my burm. She's a little thin as the guy I got her from had his friend watching her for a while and he obviously wasn't taking very good care of her. Feeding day is this Saturday though and she'll be getting a couple jumbo rats as I have yet to find a local Rabbit breeder that doesn't want an arm and leg for their bunnies.

Awesome. She is a little skinny but if her appetite is like most retics then that will be a very easy fix.

She's gorgeous! Hubs won't let me get one until a couple kids move out >.>

Congrats, retics are a lot of fun to keep.

[reptileexperts]

just an observation, but are you keeping / planning to keep, your new retic in a glass tank?

[Artemisace]

@reptileexperts no not at all I'm putting together a custom built cage for her. She won't be in there very long at all. I know glass cages are a hugely bad idea with retics. Thanks for all the comments, the guy I got her from said she's got a great feed response. I'll find out tomorrow when I feed her.

I have to ask why you didn't have the appropriate cage ready before bringing the animal home? Not trying to attack you, but mistakes like this could have very bad consequences. I hope that the cage doesn't have a normal screen top.
