My baby is getting big!

Bay_area · 04-22-2008, 11:33 AM

Julios Squeezer shed last night & needed some help getting some of the skin off. He is good size now & it is getting harder to handle him. My wife thinks I should get rid of him, but she just does not understand! Anyhow, he is soooo cool! Besides that, he makes a great home protection system...LOL!

Dang! That theres a big snake! I tell you what.

At least you can probably run fast enough to catch him.

very nice

Hard to handle as in heavy or as in trying-not-to-get-my-head-bitten-off?

Stefan-A · 04-22-2008, 12:31 PM

That's a retic, right? Nice.

larean · 04-22-2008, 12:35 PM

What exactly do you keep him in?
Or how big is your house

He has an 8'long X 4'hieght X 4'deep cage in the Garage

Yes Stefan-A, he is a reticulated Python. About 5 years old now. He was only about as big around as my finger when I got him

Thanks, Jerry

That's a lovely looking Reticulate Python, Jerry. Very nicely marked for a snake of that size. I have only ever kept this species while they were still quite small.

Your baby is getting big?? That's an understatement!!!!
What a beautiful creature, though I wouldn't want to have to lug him around too much -- your poor back must be very sore!

Awwwwe! You make me jealous, I miss my retic Twizzler

Twizzler just... never.. stopped.. getting ill... he had chronic respiratory problems and a lot of $$$ invested at the vet with nothing to show for it! Then he started losing weight at terrifying speeds even though he was getting 5 mice a week... vet said there were no parasites... Twizz passed at 1 year old and just 6 feet. I can definately say that you bond with a retic a lot like you do your garters! I'll definately have another some day!

You have a very beautiful baby!! and he is kinda still a baby by retic standards
