    She looks great as usual. The cage looks great too.

    I'm close to ordering my 6 foot Monster Cage.

    Kalatoa 100% Pure SD Retic Progression (Pic heavy...)

    Well, Phyllis cooperated and crawled in a straight line next to a tape measure for me yesterday (no pic of that unfortunately). She is barely shy of 7' now at 13.5 months old. And made of pure muscle and beauty.


    These are from a day or two previous when it was almost 80* out. The first pic is with her tail at about my lower chest/upper stomach height and I'm only 5'4". That sidewalk is about 28-30" wide too, for a bit of a scale reference.
    Excuse the messy bathroom, had her out and I sensed a piss coming and that's the only room in the apt without carpet lol. Two seconds later unleashed a flood and a few huge urates that hit the floor sounding like rocks.
    here's an idea as to how thick she is. Close to 2" diameter at her widest girth.
    curled up in the bottom of her holding tub while I was cleaning her cage. The bottom inside dimensions of that tub are about 18"x15" to give an idea how much real estate she takes up in the cage.
    Crazy to look back and remember this same animal being about 2' a year ago. She's grown a solid 5' since she's been with me and is still the most amazing animal I've ever kept. Looking forward to 20-30 more years of this critter!

    She looks beautiful, and you look pretty cool. Much younger than I am LOL!

    Keep this going as you were doing this before Sauzo and me when it comes to this retic business.

    ALL of the latest retic folks here are a little bit of a family.

    Sizes, experiences, and SD X Dwarf and mainland percentages are important topics to be shared.

    I've always thought Phyillis was pretty in pattern and coloration!

    Kalatoa 100% Pure SD Retic Progression (Pic heavy...)

    Haven't updated on Phyllis in some time. Her highness shed today and looked quite happy to change into her new dress and proceed to take a swim.

    Why, hello there!


    Taking a dip. Does this every single shed immediately after she finishes
    I think she's a sturdy 7' now. She's getting more weight than length now for the most part so she may slow down on length but we'll see, I suppose...

    Lol none of my snakes like to go into their water. I get them the big dishes and all they do is sit on top of it or rest their head on the rim of it.

    Looking great and I love the real, natural pattern. Good update.

    Sauzo, LOL,,, I have the opposite. Wallace uses his water bowl as a toilet. In a way it is very helpful and in a way it isn't. Actual cage cleaning is minimal, which is superb. But I'm changing water a few times a day which isn't.

    When the big cage gets here I'm going to upsize his water dish again to the largest naturalistic item I can find and call it good. At some point he's not going to fit at all.

    JM,

    I looked at some of the earlier pictures again and she look great outside! How does she handle if you just set her on the floor or the ground?

    I always have to have Wallace wrapped on some prop item, or on me. If he is on the ground, he's taking off LOL!

    Thanks buddy! I've never let her really be totally free on the floor for more than a half a minute without keeping a hand on her but she's pretty chill about it. Just wants to explore everything and knock anything she can over hahaha! She's never made a run for it that I can recall. Gerald however... I feel like he'd be gone in the blink of an eye if I set him on the floor for any length of time more than 1/4 of a second lol. Even when Phyllis was small, I could let her stretch along the back of the couch and she would just curiously check everything out, never tried to take off. This is her a month or so ago, hands free for a minute outside the back door when it was an 80* day in march.
    Doesn't wander far but then again I don't really allow her the chance to. If I turned my back for a second I'm sure she'd be gone or get herself into trouble lol. For size reference that sidewalk is about 28"-30"
