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

I hear ya. Caesar looks funny in the T8. And also he looks pretty uncomfortable as well. Like i said, the smaller cage is the only thing i can think of thats left. I really dont think it's food related as she pushes so soon. I mean maybe try a substantially larger meal to see if that 'satisfies' her longer? When Caesar was at his height on pushing, i was basically underfeeding him i feel as i kept him on jumbo rats which like Phyllis, he was eating a long time ago. But like i said, i also think it was breeding for him as he hit the height at the usual breeding time for retics and since has pretty much completely quit. He still is out nightly and windshield wipes and destroys stuff but at least he doesnt push. I did up his food size about the same time though so i cant really pinpoint if that or the breeding was the factor that caused him to quit pushing. i Am leaning towards breeding though.

Other than trying to smaller cage, only thing i can think of is give her something more substantial like maybe piglets from Monster Feeders. Or guinea pigs. I dont think its the amount of food she is getting that is doing it, maybe just she never really feels 'full' if that makes sense. So instead of smaller meals more often, maybe switch it up and try a nice big meal less often. Grasping at straws with it. And like i said before, i know Caesar and Rosey will both push if their humidity gets too high. Usually only happens when i put in fresh cypress and it spikes to 100% for a few days and i get condensation on the doors. Both of them really seem to hate that so I leave their doors opens and they get quiet and curl up and sleep. Vicky and the little boas love higher humidity but for some weird reason, Caesar and Rosey seem to like it on the lower end.

I agree with all of this.

The ONLY other option I can think of, and it's a bit of a pain for you to deal with is getting the really big 8 foot cage.

Now I kind of frown on that because the 3 of us all went for the "smaller" genetics, and your girl isn't really that big, however the constant movement is distressing.

Are you handy? I'm not, but if I was, I'd be tempted to build the mother of all cages. I know you are a mobile dude and need to up and go when jobs change, but once you are settled for good, build her the JW Marriott!
