Growth update on the new retics.

As you know, I got my retics about 3 weeks ago, the female was a hair smaller then the male but alas, he only ate once and shes been pounding down the rats... shes growing and he isnt

Not going to bother him till he eats.
Smaller one is him now (she was SMALLER then him 3 weeks ago)
Large snake is her with 3 weeks growth, almost 30 inches
I'll upload the headshot with the other computer in a sec.

Re: Growth update on the new retics.

Shes a doll, but if there is food available, bring out the biggest tongs you have or be careful :P
She is probably close to 6 feet at least right now, should have her on rabbits soon.

Wow she's gotten big really fast. I hope the male catches up soon. Some are just late bloomers...

Re: Growth update on the new retics.

He ate once, hasn't eaten since, its the lack of eating thats slowing his growth. (they were severely underfed, those are actually mid 2010s, the male has just reached sexual maturity, and its coming into breeding season.... its gona suck but I wouldn't be surprised if he refuses to eat for 6 months.

Re: Growth update on the new retics.

that sucks is there any way you could put vitamins in his water so he can get nutrients just because he was so underfed?
