Gerald Super Dwarf Ultra Ivory Retic Progression

[jmcrook]

Look at the big square head on that bloke in picture 2! He's a smoking hot retic.

Thank man! He’s definitely getting that mature dinosaur head that I love on retics.
Unrelated, I put him back on coco chips last night. Some of which were from Phyllis’s cage that were clean so I bagged them up when I moved apts a few weeks ago. Put him in there, was noticeably curious checking out the bedding and then later last night I caught him spurring and courting himself hahah! He definitely wants a girlfriend.

Quick to mature!

Wallace is getting scary these days. Putting on the size, damn tiger gene, and doesn't at all like being pulled out of the cage.

Another foot or 2 and I'll start having my son around for the handling sessions in case I need a set of hands.

He's a good choice at 15 years old as he placed top 6 in his last stint at wrestling nationals. I'm not 100% sure my wife would handle things well, although she's a Spartan Racer and has skills, just not snake skills. I don't even know if I have snake skills LOL!

Gerald is rocking the season of love. Hot summer nights!

Lol yep! They don’t look that big until they start moving and don’t want to come out of the cage! I’m solo here so I’ve got to be very perceptive of my critters attitudes and movements. Gerald is a serious handful, at times quite annoying actually. Phyllis handles like dream by comparison and is close to three time his mass and two feet longer

I agree with the "annoying" part at times.

You will find that your boa constrictor will have a good amount of mass in time, but will be a joy to sit with and chill.

Retics are fascinating and extremely entertaining as far as snakes go but they are not typically relaxing.

Depending on the person, I'd say 10 feet tops, and then a second person is a must.

Wallace is sizing up now and I'm ready for him to slow to a crawl on the growth scale.

I hear ya man. If Gerald was 10’ I’d want a spotter when handling. Phyllis however is an absolute sweetheart out of the cage so I feel comfortable with her but still give her plenty of respect as she is 9-10’ and ~23lbs. Both the retics “seem” to be slowing down on length for the most part now.
Kinda looking forward to a more slow growing boa by comparison haha
