Yeah I’ve talked to Garrett twice. He just said lower temps and don’t feed her for 2-3 weeks. When I said she’d tear her face off after not eating for that long he basically just said “huh, weird”.
Female retics are generally mature around 3 years or so. Garrett just prefers to wait until 4-5 years.
I also mentioned that I did want to use pvc for a big cage but that Lowe’s only has 3/8” thick sheets. Not a lot of support for an 8’ build. We’ll see though. Not sure I want to invest $4-500 in a cage that very well might not solve the issues here. I’d just assume rehome the damn snake at that point. I’ve already spent thousands of dollars trying to make her happy with no luck
