I finally have some rough stats. Retics are hard to measure. Serpent Widgets can give me 3 different lengths from the same picture so accuracy from that AP seems an estimate in my experience.
I mentioned in another post that we often overestimate the length of our animals when "eyeballing" them and guessing their length.
Wallace shed out the other day and I decided to get a rough estimate of his length. I let the shed dry for a few days, which did allow it to shrink up a bit however the shed wet or dry is still longer than the snake.
Not surprisingly, Wallace wasn't the length I thought he was. I was figuring he was 7' - 7'.6" long. In actuality, the shed was seven feet two inches. Wallace still hasn't hit the seven foot mark. He's close but he's close but not there yet.
He's in wonderful shape and seems to be slowing in growth.
Here he is enjoying a large F/T rat.
He was eager to slam this one down.
Retics seem to eat faster than any snake I've seen, although colubrids, like Kings make quick work of their meals too!
This rat wasn't visible for long.
I took these pictures with an I-Phone 7+ through the cage glass. They turned out pretty decent.
The boy seems to be comfortable in his cage.
Thanks for looking.
