We moved Jenny up on to large rabbits as mediums were hardly leaving a lump in her. And we've also spaced her feeding days out to roughly 14 to 17 and not feeding her when she goes into shed. Anyway here's a few pics we took yesterday

She is absolutely gorgeous! I am so jealous ;). I always wanted one and someday I plan to get at least 2.

Thank you very much and when you do get a retic you won't be disappointed, they are the most rewarding snakes to keep imo :)

Before long she's going to be challenging the big one in that cage there for length!

She's not that far off it now Kyle, and at the rate she's growing I'd give her another six months and she'll be there :shocked:

Looking great as always :)

Thanks Adrian :)

Love seeing your giants. Too many obese tics and Burms in the states it's nice to see healthy animals. I need to get some pics up of all mine..... I'm also trying to find a nice normal burm female....

Looking great as always Dave. I agree with the others, it's evident that your animals are well cared for.

Thank you and we've never measured her, but I'd hazard a guess at around 10ft or there abouts

Thanks mate we actually get a bit of hassle from time to time about them underweight for their size, but we just let it slide and don't get into arguments. And I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of your retics get them posted asap :). And I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you in your search for your burm. I know some people are having a nightmare trying to locate one depending on which state your in because of the Lacey act but hopefully a nice normal will come your way

Thanks Ziggy mate as said above your words mean alot :)

Gorgeous!! She is looking beautiful as always :D Is she really only 10 foot? I measured Xena today (With a piece of string, she wouldn't lie still though!) she measured in at 11,5 foot. Jenny looks to be at least her size.

Thank you and when we're not really sure of they're size we usually guess, then take a foot or more off it stops any arguments :). So she could well be bigger than 10 foot ;)

It's not that I don't think she wouldn't eat when she's in shed, it's just she becomes withdrawn and grumpy. I know if I was to dangle a rabbit in her viv she would be on it in a flash but we just leave her alone as much as we can, it's just something we've done with all our snakes from we first got Daisy :)
