My Retic is getting big

[Bay_area]

I had to look for a new food item, so I gave him a rooster yesterday. He had no problem taking it down...



BTW, this thing scares me more than the rattlesnakes
Thanks, Jerry

Yikes! What's his temperment like?

[infernalis]

Unless his is one of the rare examples, Retics are known to be sweeties.

I have a friend with one, his goes up a whole flight of stairs, with some snake to spare. He has kids too, and never once has his python been a problem, except the huge poo.

Just envision a 20 foot ball python, keep it fed and warm, you will have an excellent pet.

Yes, I am really hoping to work with dwarf retics someday. =)

Actually, I've known some pretty bad tempered Retics... notorious biters when young. A friend of mine was quite badly hurt by a 9 footer.

I would love to have one someday, but I dont think I could even come close to manuvering an adult- I only weigh 145 lbs (65 kg).

[Stefan-A]

I wouldn't want one, especially not if I had kids. I couldn't trust either of them.

[GartersRock]

Which is why I want dwarfs. =D

Good heavens!!! Live or f/t??? Too bad you're not close, Jerry, I have an over-abundance of free range, healthy roosters right now and I need to whack some... and they're mostly older than I prefer for our own table.

He's a really pretty snake Jerry!!!

I love retic markings....but they get way to big me for!
