Silverside Retic

[Dyn]

Thought I would share a couple pics of my high silver retic. I will try and get some of my purple albino and het albino up soon as I can get a good pic of the purple... catching their colors sucks

He's about 9 1/2 feet long. The pictures with the bulge are from a rabbit that was alittle bigger than I thought it was before he started eating it.

I'm not even a slight fan of retics but this one is actually very stunning! =)

Excellent, glad you posted some pics! That is one fantastic looking retic. I almost don't want to see pics of your other ones because then I'll get all bummed out because I can't have one for quite some time....gotta get through school then get a house first, haha. Are you breeding rabbits for them? Also, are they feeding on anything else? I've heard of people breeding chickens for them before. Also, how big was he when you got him? And how tame? Also, how much does he weigh? Sorry about all the questions...I have to live vicariously through you now haha.

I've fed him alot of stuff so far. All prekilled because I dont want anything damaging my snake.

Mice, Rats, Gerbils, Hamsters, and Rabbits.

I'm not breeding rabbits but I'm getting them from a breeder here that will sell at a discount when we <the petshop> buy alot.

I might feed a couple chickens later... but it causes their poop to be really runny and smell REALLY bad so that would be a last resort.

When I got him he was only about 5 or 6 feet long. Not exactly sure how much he weighs I'll try and weigh him later but if I had to guess... probably 35-45 pounds.

Hes pretty tame once hes out of his cage... he can get to looking alittle defensive inside of it and has tagged me a couple of times. All three of them have. Just have to work on getting them less cage defensive.


Heres a picture of him when I first got him. I've had to shave my beard for a job since the picture was taken... well about a year after the picture but I'm growing it back now.



I'll get a picture of me holding him maybe later tonight to show the diffrence a year makes.
