Caesar progression thread.

Haha yup, the man behind the reptiles is revealed And thanks about his look. I think Caesar looks pretty good too lol. I really dont know exactly how long Caesar is as i cant really get him to sit still to measure. I just use the cage as a measuring tool. I'm guessing around 8 feet. Regardless though, when he is on me, he is so much snake lol. Honestly, if i didnt raise him from a baby and just went in cold and tried to hold him around my body and stuff, i would be kind of intimidated. Same with Rosey or Vicky. Large constrictors are just so much muscle mass and just rock solid. you can feel that if they wanted to, they could mess you up.

So Phyllis is settled on the 7 day feeding schedule? I'm still not sure about Caesar. I mean 10 days is for sure with him but some days, he seems like he could go 14 and other times, barely lasts 10 days. He hasnt been pushing for a while now so I'm really wondering if his 'bad' behavior was because he wanted a girlfriend.

As for food size, Caesar works well still with a jumbo rat. Well jumbo by the pet shop i use standards. Think last time i weighed them, they were around 340-350 grams. I keep meaning to weigh to weight them again but keep forgetting to buy a new battery for my snake food scale. I do give him an XL guinea pig though also which those might be the times he seems to last more than 10 days.

You know, i really want another GTP or an ETB but i was browsing through Bob Clarks available snakes and saw a male SD ultra anery...i was really tempted as i got that extra T8 laying around hahaha. If only i had room for like 5 more snakes but that aint happening.....nice to dream though haha.

Absolutely, if I started working with her at her current size instead of working up from a noodle the size of a big pencil she’d be an intimidating first large constrictor. I can read her very well though since I raised her from three weeks onwards and she is very easy to manage except occasionally when she doesn’t want to go back in her cage.
And she’s barely making it to 7 days. Pushing pretty good at day 6. She’s 20lbs and is still growing so she needs either bigger or more frequent meals.
Seeing you get all the snakes makes me want more snakes haha. Between you and Gio I kinda want a locality bcc. But on the same hand I’d like to breed Phyllis and Gerald someday and keep a baby or two as well... only have three cages and three critters though so that’s helping keep me in check
