He’s clearly very interested in breeding; arching and cruising all over, most notably since his last shed a couple days ago.


I think moving into Phyllis’s soon to be old cage soon will help (maybe ever so slightly) but I’ll also expect that he’s just going to be a horny, twitchy, spastic Male retic. Once
Phyllis heals up maybe I’ll try pairing again but that’s only once she’s doing well.
They are definitely a very assertive species. If you know your animals you can absolutely tell when things are about to head south

Still can’t get over that setup! It looks so nice!
And he’s a gorgeous snake. Good thing he didn’t nail you! I’ve yet to be bitten by any of my snakes (I’ve been bitten before, but not from any of mine). I figure it’s a given it’ll happen sooner or later, I just hope it’s not a full grown retic bite. I’m really cautious with him though, just because of the potential he has. I’m REALLY hoping he stays so chill and doesn’t turn into a :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: once he decides he should be breeding.
