The head tapping is a great "tool" to get used to doing. I keep anacondas, retics, burmese, etc., and they all get a head tap to wake them up, them a few gentle strokes on their body before I handle them. Use a snake hook for the contact, not your hand of course. Start them off like this when they are young and it will get ingrained in them. I have no problem with any of my snakes, and some of them are 12 to 14 feet long. Keep 'tapping', Ron.

yeah that makes sense..using a snake hook. I was assuming he would be reaching his hand in and tapping the head of a 16 ft retic one day...YIKES.

Thanks, that answers the question kind of i guess. There is one picture on that page that looks almost idenical to her. And it says that there has never been one captured in the wild under 8 ft. So i guess i have to wait a while longer to know for sure. Thanks again

The second and the sixth picture kind of look like normals so yours could be a calico.

Thats a great feeding pic!

Not sure how much they are but I'm hoping not terribly expensive. And its been about three months since i took those pictures and she seems to be getting more white scales on her side and she is a little bigger then six feet now. I'll post more pictures in another month or two I want to be able to post a dramatic change.
