Male Retic Caging?

[bcr229]

Much appreciated! When you say slow fed diet, can you give me an example? At 90 days old, I'm currently giving him 1 rat crawler every 6 days. Would you say that is sufficient? Should I be feeding him more? I would love to keep him in the 4x2x1, just for space reasons in my house. By the same token, I don't want to give him less then he deserves. At the end of the day, I want to keep him fed properly and healthy. No plans on mating him pretty much ever. Just an awesome pet to me. I appreciate any advise you can give me!

The feeder should leave a decent lump that disappears in 2-3 days. Feeding every 5-7 days is fine.

I would plan on housing an adult mainland male retic in a 6'x24"x18" enclosure, they do use the extra vertical space if you give them something to climb on, plus the extra height makes it easier to reach into the back to clean it.
