Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

[Gio]

"Wallace is looking good Gio.
What is he eating?"



Hey Ricky, thanks. Wallace eats large or medium rats and large quail. I tend to feed without a schedule. Sometimes he will get fed weekly, and then I will let hime go 3-4 weeks before I feed.

I quoted my last post so folks wouldn't need to flip back to see the latest photos.

These are not the best photos but they show a little more progression in size.

Wallace is a moderate percentage of SD, a larger percentage of Dwarf, and has a minimal amount of mainland.

He's not a monster by any stretch, but he is certainly not what the typical SD male would spec out at.



At this point I like how he handles and I feel confident in taking out alone. That said, I don't particularly like him near my neck. He has a bit of the SD/male twitchiness. At times it makes him annoying to take out.


This species of snake is active and fairly rewarding to keep. I think males tend to be more of a challenge than females, yet that really depends on the individual. I have not had the issues with Wallace that JM had with Gerald.



I'm not expecting or hoping for a lot more growth with this guy.

I still observe arboreal behavior nightly, and often during the day with Wallace.

Hopefully these pictures give a perspective of size.
