Re: My gorgeous new Bob Clark, tiger, fluffy line part 2, it grows.
For some reason the pictures have a broken icon for me. I can't view them. Might be a problem on my end, who knows. Very excited to see the progression of her!

A female mainland? Should easily hit 10' in the first year.
My 37.5% SD, 31.5% dwarf, 31% mainland white tiger het snow male from Vital Exotics went from 2' at 5 months old to over 7' in 9 months. But he is a pig and wrecks his face if he isnt fed every 10 days at least. He went from small rats to 2XL guinea pigs.
And be prepared to ditch that tank in about 2 months haha. In the 9 months I had Caesar, he went from a AP T10 4x2 cage when I got him to now an AP T25 6x3 cage 9 months later. And possibly an AP T65 8x3 if he gets over 10'.

I'd be VERY interested in bringing WC mainland in for genetic diversity.

10 feet? No, she shows signs of the fluffy gene being active. She'll exceed 10 I think if fed.

I said 10' in the first year. A mainland female well fed can get 18'+. I hope you have a friend/wife/girlfriend to help you handle it when it's that large.
It's the main reason I really don't want anything over 11-12' as I handle my reptiles alone.
Kind of the same reason I am debating backing out of getting a Gila Monster or Beaded Lizard which I had planned to get in a couple months. Everyone I've talked to has told me I should be fine with one but if I did get tagged, expect to wish you died for 24 hours and then spend the next couple weeks recovering from the side effects since there is no anti venom for Heloderma.

Why? Pretty much all the bad rep retics have gotten have been from WC ones years ago before people started breeding them like crazy. Now with all the generations of breeding, they have 'mellowed' out but you will still run into psycho ones. Imagine trying to control an 18'+ really pissed off snake. If you look at my post of "ouch', you will see what a male retic did to it's owner and that was a male, not a monster female.

Just make sure you have this snake for the right reasons.
If it's to brag about how big of snake you got, then find a new home for it now.
If it's because you truly like the animals, then make sure you are prepared for it. They need large housing, large food and lots of respect.
And be sure you can afford it. Caesar has cost me a nice chunk of change in the past 9 months. $700ish in his new cage and $45 a month for food, not to mention substrate etc. And like I said, if he needs a T65 cage, that will run me probably close to $1000 with shipping
Again, that's most of the reason I went with a SD. More manageable and cheaper kind of.
Guy that lives by me who is huge into BIG reptiles like monitors and retics as well as keeping wolves has a 16'+ female retic that he feeds goats to lol. But he also breeds Black Roughneck Monitors so he has the resources and land etc for it. He keeps his own goats and chickens and stuff lol.

I know you said 10, she's going to surpass it.
I'm a bodybuilder so I feel okay at 15' but yes I have help.
In negotiations for a 20 foot female now.
Get your gila, don't fear jumping into the cold water. I did, these snakes can kill me...you just need gloves. Never allow fear to interfere with dreams if you can handle the species then take the jump.
