Alice, The Titanium Reticulated Python

[wnateg]

Got to love the retics for their curiosity. They play with things, move things around, and both of mine love interaction.

Would you say that your experience over all has been a good one with her? Mine are thriving and wonderful creatures.

Yea, this is my first experience with a retic, and I am pretty stunned how curious she is. Her head is always out of her hide. You walk by and she's like oh what's going on? (Though sometimes striking the tub) And you take off the lid and she thinks its time to go. And she's a spaz when eating with a ravenous appetite.

One morning I was turning back over one of her hides on one side and she was totally in her hide on the other side. She struck at me from her hide across the full length of the tub (3 feet). I am pretty surprised with how brazen she is.

I haven't started handling her yet, but I probably will soon. Definitely need to get her accustomed to handling before she gets really big. The breeder was obviously slow feeding her, and I'm not, so I already see noticeable growth.
