So I was cruising around craigslist this weekend and came across an add for a female tiger retic and couldn't help myself, the guy I got her off of I don't think knew how to take care of her, she was having a bad shed and said he has never had a retic that had a good shed which is a complete bunch of crap, got her home and dropped her in the tub, ill get better pics this weekend, but she ate like a champ the next day. Think she was under fed as well.

Nice save Steele. She looks a little thin but I'm sure you'll nurse her back to great health in no time. Best wishes.

Thanks guys, he said she was about 2yrs old and she is only about 8 to 9 foot, he said he just recient switched her to large rats which she should have been feeding large rats for a while at that size. I fed her 2 large rats Sunday and she took them both with ease, ill keep her on 2 large rats a week for a while till i bulk her up a little then make the transition to rabbits and give 1 every 2 weeks.

Wow she's that long? Honestly as skinny as she is I assumed she was a Juvenile. Good save. Just keep her away from your other critters till you know she's safe. Keep us updated on her progress

She looks like she could be a year old, tops. I guess when it comes to snakes, looking younger than you are isn't a good thing. Glad to see she's in more capable hands. Keep us posted! :)
