Gerald Super Dwarf Ultra Ivory Retic Progression

[Sauzo]

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.

Depends on the snake. Caesar just got really pushy when he wanted to breed. He pushed like crazy and would arch but he never got pissy. But he was always mellow even as a baby. Never took a shot at me and only hissed once ever when i tried to hook train him, he really hated the hook lol. But anyways, each snake is going to be different.

That's a beautiful snake! I know everyone says "match the size of their girth" but it's so hard for me to look at a snake and look at a rat and go "yeah sure" lol. My retic was eating 2-3 adult mice a week up until about 5 feet. then I start giving her 1-2 chicks a week depending on how big the chick was. I am thinking now that she is around 6 feet to just give her 1 medium rat a day. I also have a 7-8 ft burm eating jumbo rats I am considering moving to rabbits. I bought some rabbits from a guy and I froze them and I can't really look at him and envision if he's big enough for them xD

You would be surprised at the size of food a snake can eat. My 6 foot boa gets a large rat every month as well as my 7 foot boa. Caesar the retic, who is about 8 feet gets a jumbo rat or 2XL guinea pig every 2 weeks. I have fed Caesar and even the boas food that i miss-sized and they still powered it down. Looked like they ate a football after and they went into a 3 day food coma, but they seemed pretty happy lol.

And back to the subject, Gerald looks good. I've always liked white snakes. And good thing you didnt get tagged. Not sure on Geralds head size but Caesar has a huge head and if i ever did get bit, i know it would hurt lol. I got bit by Rosey on a quick defensive bite when i woke her and scared her. Surprisingly it didnt hurt but boy it did bleed a ton and Rosey is 7 feet.
