Kalatoa 100% Pure SD Retic Progression (Pic heavy...)

[Gio]

Yeah, sometimes they just grow. I’ve got a FB buddy with a 15yr old pure kalatoa that is 9-10’ and can take a 4lb rabbit. His certainly wasn’t that big at 2yrs though. I’m thinking Phyllis will top 12’+ at this rate. Gotta have other locale blood influences for a supposed SD to get this size this quickly. Also just gave her another colossal rat right now at day 4. Hopefully she chills out for a bit

Hey man,

Don't let her go and don't think she's necessarily a mix. She could just be a big girl and she is likely topping off.

I swear ceiling space and perches make life more interesting for them. I'm only of limited experience here but I've never had a pushing issue, and Wallace is getting bigger but I don't expect him to be much over 9 feet.

You've got a pretty girl there with a beautiful natural pattern. I think she's probably slowing in growth.


Hold the course and try a few new options before you decide to re-home her. I'd be bummed.

Honestly I’d be crushed to get rid of her, I was more or less just venting some frustration. I hope she’s starting to top off as well. I think she just needs substantially larger prey to keep her calm. Additional perches and such are things I’d like to offer her at some point but right now I’m in no position to be ordering 8’ cages nor do I have space for one. Even when I gave her the bigger cage her pushing didn’t really change. I think she’s just a big, beautiful butthead in that way. I may rig up one big perch at some point and see if she uses it but she hardly even uses the shelf anymore since she got so big. We’ll see though.
She does look suspiciously like a kayuadi if you look at pics of those compared to kalatoa though. I wouldn’t be surprised as everyone else I’ve talked to has said she’s about the biggest two year old SD they’ve ever heard of
