Natural light photo's of my girl Xena.

[Tsubaki]

My beautiful girl shed, and i had to clean out her enclosure. Some natural light coming into the room, perfect time for a picture! She was even pretty well behaved today, only nipped at me twice. Put her down on the floor first, but couldn't get a decent full body pic... She kept stalking me through the room (pic 2 and 3) So i ended up holding her in the sunlight!

Xena is a 7,5 foot mainland tiger retic, can't wait till she grows up !

looking good! I like the last tongue shot a lot. What cam/lens did you use?

[MCB]

Very, very nice. Again love that last tongue shot, stunning retic.

[Tsubaki]

Thx! Love the atmosphere of the last picture :)
Used a Cannon 550D with a 60mm Macro lens.

Lovely tiger. They're my favorite pattern morph as far as retics go. They aren't that common where I'm from, so I'm just sitting here with a wad of cash waiting for the next person to post some up for sale. lol

[CosmicOwl]

How big will she end up getting?

[EL Ziggy]

She is gorgeous. I love that fire in her eyes too. 7.5 ft and you cant wait for her to grow up huh? That's funny :)

[psychocircus]

Beautiful retic. I especially like photos 4 and 7!

[Tsubaki]

Thx!! i love #7 its my laptop wallpaper. :D

[philbyi-guy]

Never get tired of those eyes. You can tell they're thinking, calculating everything. More than I see in some humans

[Tsubaki]

They look like they're always up to something :D

[Tsubaki]

Took this picture which showed her girth pretty nicely, thought i'd share it!

[dave himself]

Fit and healthy the way a retic should be. Is there any chance you could post some pics of the rest of your retics mate :D

[Tsubaki]

This is currently the only retic i own, sadly lost my entire collection. Xena got me to pick up my hobby again! Next on the list is a mate for my pretty girl. :)

Well I'm looking forward to seeing your new boy :)

[thinkbig317]

Sweet looking retic!!!

[Tsubaki]

So am i :D I am very picky though, might take a but for me find 'the one'. But that's alright, i don't mind taking it slow this time. Already very happy this little girl blew away the last bit anxiety i had about starting over. :D

[JWFugle]

gorgeous retic, love the colors and those eyes... thats what sold me on my girl is those firey eyes.

question: when do they start to gain more girth than length? mine is right at that 7.5-8ft mark but she is much slimmer, she is dwarf but i feel she is much skinnier than most i see. im not looking for a fat snake just curious. :) keep the pictures coming

[millertime89]

Need a banana for scale bud.

[Tsubaki]

Ill try to remember to add a banana next time :p

Usually they gain mostly length the first 4 / 5 years, and then quickly gain girth. At least that's my experience :D This snake is around the same length, but this is no dwarf ;) My dwarfs were skinnier at this length as well.

[JWFugle]

awesome thanks, cant wait to see them grow :)

[Tsubaki]

She just moved up to rabbits, i can See her grow a.t.m.. She is having a huge grow spurt!! :D
