Caesar progression thread.

[Sauzo]

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

Haha, well cant go wrong with a BCC. I love Gina. She is such a sweetie too and so laid back. For the most part i am more scared of her falling off me than she is haha. She is pretty carefree.

And thats insane Phyllis is barely making 7 days. Like i said, i think Caesar has finally reached a mellow point either from growth or from getting over wanting to breed. Well see how he goes and next year too. Then i will be able to tell more if his pushing is from breeding or not. Regardless, i am so glad he quit pushing as that was a point of great worry for me as he always had a scuff on his chin or somewhere from it. Now watch, i mention this and he will start pushing again haha.

The good thing about boas compared to retics is they are much cheaper to feed and house lol. I only have to change out the boas' cypress about every 2-3 months and i feed the big girls every 3-4 weeks and the little kids every 2 weeks. Caesar i have to change his cypress every month and feed him every 10 days...hoping to go to 14 days.

I will say though, inside the cage, Caesar is much more social and interactive to me. Outside the cages and all the snakes are pretty much the same. Pat's pretty hilarious inside his cage. If you wake him up during the day, he will become Mr. Grump and hiss at you and then move to the other side of the perch and curl back up. Surprisingly when it gets close to night, he will just stare at my hand when i reach in to change his water. I have been waiting to get bit but the little worm doesnt seem to be much of a biter or striker. He seems to like to inspect stuff first unless i make him wait 8-9 days for food. Then when he smells that mouse, he wags his tail vigorously and grabs the mouse haha.

And my days of mass buying snakes is pretty well over. Once i get Pat's cage set up, I'll probably use the 18x18x18 for either an ETB or another GTP and the extra T8 will go to probably another retic in all truthfulness. I love boas but another baby retic sounds fun as Caesar grew too fast and isnt my little baby worm anymore lol. I want either a SD ultra or ultra ivory....doesnt really matter as i wont be breeding so having a white or lavender wont matter or i have been looking at those mochinos. I havent seen SD mochinos though which was kind f the reason i was browsing Bob Clarks site
