I never started this out properly since I titled it "Progression".
These are going to be repeat pictures, but I feel the need to post them to actually show the progression of Wallace.
Sauzo, Jmcrook and others have 1 solid thread for their retics and I have multiple threads and photos.
I want to package this into a solo thread although other photos are available in different threads.
This is the real progression of Wallace. Not all of his photos, but a nice steady progression.

Arrival:
27, September, 2016.
First introduction: Complete with the "Acclimation Branch".
The branch was a very gentle way to get him used to handling. It seemed to help him feel secure.
We moved into free handling within a few days and he was pretty mellow.
A trait that retics have that really make them beautiful. Mr. Rainbow Head.
The iridescence of Python Reticulatus.
The first meal:
A small rat taken with no problem.
Posing for "School Pics":
The other side.
Getting more color and once again a taste of the rainbow.
Out of quarantine and into his new/current cage.
No cage stress. He ate immediately.
The Penthouse:
He's whizzed on me a few times, but this was our first and ONLY real disagreement.
He was a brat that day, and he seems to be pouting in the corner here LOL!
Despite some resistance to come out of the cage now and then, he is doing very well. He's close to 5 feet long maybe a tad less, and very lean.
He's been a super captive and an exciting jump into another species.
We should be up to date here:
Now there is some "progression" to the Wallace thread.
