Gerald Super Dwarf Ultra Ivory Retic Progression

[Sauzo]

Thank you Gio. Never an enjoyable keeper’s moment over here as of recently. Going to get some forearm length suede welding gloves for dealing with Gerald. These were very much combative bites that he delivered. Had he landed my wrist I could be in a bad way.
Food doesn’t slow him down now either. Ate two days ago and has been arching, cruising, pushing nonstop.
Phyllis shed out too and is back to pushing and still won’t eat. Lab results of her oral swab confirmed bacterial infection which means another round of a couple different antibiotics injections for a while.
Sometimes I wonder if I should have just stayed with ball pythons... dull from an interactive standpoint but my god, their lack of headache sounds very appealing right now

Boas and GTPs. There is a reason most of my collection is boas and Pat is pretty much an angel for a GTP. I dont really 'play' with him but he is pretty happy to poke his head outside the cage if i leave a door open at night and never strikes. Just looks at me and wonders whats going on but then again Caesar does the same. He's actually in shed atm and spun his cool hide around so the door was facing the back of the cage lol. I lifted it off of him and moved it back to to cool side and put it the right way. Petted him and he just sat there. Didnt even so much as flick a tongue. Then after about an hour of sitting in the open, he finally moved and went into the cool hide again.

Sucks about Gerald but i bet once breeding time is over, he will hopefully mellow back out. And as for Phyllis, i have nothing to offer there, as all of my thoughts of solutions have been tried already.

Caesar did push like crazy and was antsy when he wanted to breed. He also would arch when i petted him but he never struck at me. Just wouldnt stop cruising, arching and pushing. This went on for about 2 weeks i guess. Then all of a sudden he stopped and went back to being happy no arching no pushing Caesar.

And you cant get rid of Gerald. I love him but then like i said, im a sucker for white snakes lol.

Oh and off topic but i think tomorrow, I'm finally going to get a small chest freezer haha. I was so tempted to pick up a red neo Biak GTP though haha.
