Gerald Super Dwarf Ultra Ivory Retic Progression

[jmcrook]

Homeboy put on a fresh suit a little bit ago. Not a great pic but sorta illustrates his size. Sturdy 8’ and 10-11lbs. Really need to make a decision soon on new cages for Phyllis so Gerald can take her T25. Boamaster gave me some pretty decent quotes on an 8’ cage in two 4’ halves that join together, just thoroughly thinking out all my other opinions before making a hasty investment.

Lol I know, I know... gotta get Phyllis squared away so he can take her T25. Then the boa gets Gerald’s T8.
Mark at boamaster quoted $800 for an 8x3x2 pvc cage built in two 4’ halves. $640 for the same design in melamine. Also has a 4’x32”x15” for $250 each. Said he’d cut the pass through between the two 4’ halves for $25 and they ship for $20 each. I really want something at least 18” tall though. Waiting to hear back about a quote on 8’x30”x18-24”. If he gives me a number I can deal with I might pull the trigger

Thanks guys! @Gio @richardhind1972
What I forgot to add to that first post was that right after I cleaned out his cage and was handling him, he pissed all over my back and then went #2. Luckily not on a carpeted area though! Damn retics lol

Lol. Thats too funny. I just have been pissed on the foot by Caesar. But Caesar really isnt a fan of being handled. He tolerates it but you can clearly see he doesnt really enjoy it. He is more a fan of having a door left open so he can relax on the litter dam and get pettings. He likes those or when HE decides he wants to come out lol.

If you do get from Boamaster, have to let us know what you think of the PVC he uses. And yeah, i would for sure go with at least 18 inches tall if you are going 8 feet long and 30-36 inch deep.

And freakin Caesar last night was hungry as he has gone almost a month now since his last jumbo rat and he was expressing it by thumping the shelf all night long and shoving his hide around lol. So I have today off after a 6 day work week so I am going to get everyone a nice big dinner.

Hah! Yeah Gerald isn’t a huge fan of handling either. Either clamps down on my arm or face or tries to run like an 8’ corn snake. If he were more calm I’d let him roam around like Phyllis but he’s just too fast and still thin enough to get into tighter little spaces. If I blink for too long he’d be gone lol

Yeah we’ll see what Mark says about 8x30x18. I’d imagine it’s pretty comparable pvc to AP cages. I’ll for sure update if/when I go through with anything.
Might have to bump Gerald up to two jumbos per feeding soon. Jumbo doesn’t even really leave a bump anymore. If I tried to let either of my retics go without food for as long as Caesar just went I’m certain they’d tear their faces off of their skulls.
