    Feed in the new cage.

    I couldn't resist as Wallace was ready for food.

    He had a small rat in his new home.




    This cage is good for housing/feeding pictures.



    They can be risky when he's in feeding mode. He quickly shifted his attention back toward me and the camera.



    He eventually started to eat.





    He's a really nice snake.



    Great picture night.

    LOL mine will do that. They want seconds dished up before they're done their firsts!

    Awe he's such a little guy lol. He doesn't have the raptor looking head yet lol. Caesar has the stinkeye and raptor head lol....or he was just mad at me for pulling him out of his hide to take pictures of him shed lol.


    And yeah, Caesar almost went for the camera in the Caesar vs food series lol.

    I have brutal typos tonight.

    I wish I could go back and change some of them.

    It still looks like you understood what I was saying.

    I thought he'd be occupied with the rat but the second I opened the door and moved with the camera he shifted his attention and was heading my way LOL!

    Nope,

    I'm feeding him to keep him within the range I want and what Kris predicted his final size to be.

    He's probably 4 feet long but seems to be just fine with every 7-10 days and in some cases longer between meals.


    I plan on having him for the next 20-30 years so he's got plenty of time to grow.

    Yeah Caesar is down to once every 7 days. He seems to have grown out of the every 4 days food. He doesn't really get worked up until about 6 days give or take a day. You can definitely tell when he is hungry though as he's not his laid back self but instead focuses intently on any movement.

    Gotta say though, at first when you and Jmcrook got SD retics, I was so-so about them as I loved boas but after getting Caesar, I honestly am really loving retics. They are definitely giving boas a run for the money. Caesar is like a hyper boa for the most part haha. When he is in mellow mode, he will curl up between my side and my arm below my arm pit and actually cover his head and sit there for hours. He sat there once for the whole movie "Daredevil". Yeah yeah I know, kind of meh movie but wasn't anything else on lol. I'm actually debating on the Peruvian BCC or another retic for my next snake, if there is a next snake lol.

    Whoa!!

    Tough choice.

    Iquitos Peruvian BCC is probably one if not the top boa in my book.

    And I agree when mellow, retics are really a joy.

    Keep me posted on the next one.

    Yeah it wont be anytime soon. At the earliest, around end of summer/beginning of fall next year. Need to get the 3 T25s first, then we'll see what happens after that. Cant go too fast as i'm limited on snakes so I have to space out and absorb the full enjoyment of the delivery box coming lol.

    Nice pics Gio!

    Is that your new Monster cage? How about some pics of it, or did I miss a separate thread on that?

    Nevermind, I found your other post about this temp cage.
