Thanks Lelle! She is a little over 16', the male is closer to 19'. I also have a 15' male Tiger Retic, still looking for a female.
These guys are in a walkin enclosure, I have 4 large walkins built in my shop. The nice thing about the shop floor, is that its heated, so its easy to adjust temps, for thermoregulating. I'm hoping for a great clutch this year :D

Sounds like a good setup. Thats the way to keep these large boids. I´ve seen way too many small crap cages for them online (and at houses).
Good luck with the breeding! Do you keep and breed any venomous?

...She's still laying here, about five more left. I could see a few bad ones that I couldn't separate, but I counted over 30 good ones!:D

Good for you man. :) I figured she'd have a decent sized clutch.
