My new boy, Osiris

[Relentless]

Hey guys, long time no see. :) I stopped posting on here a while back and stumbled upon the site today. Figured I would come back because I miss showing off my babies somewhere other than Facebook, haha.

My first retic, Pandora, unfortunately passed away in July this year due to a congenital heart defect. She received the best vet care she could, but there was nothing that they could do to better her condition. She was 3 years old and probably just over 12 feet and 20 lbs. She was absolutely perfect in every way and I was devastated when she passed. I figured that I would need a lot more time before moving on to another snake, and I didn't even think I could bare having another retic, but I kept going to where her cage is in my house to re-fill her water and check temps and I couldn't do it anymore with an empty cage.

So, cue this little guy. He's from the same breeder that Pandora came from. He's got huge genetics in him as he's from one of the largest platty females there is. He's full of energy and spunk and is a totally different cup of tea from Pandora. I missed having a retic and I'm so glad I went ahead and brought another one into my life. I've always said I wanted to try a blood python as they are my second favorites, but once you go retic, it's hard to go smaller. ;)

Meet Osiris. He's 6 months old as of today and still super tiny!

Sooo beautiful! Sorry to hear about your loss, but it's good that you found new retic. All the good luck for you and him, and keep posting a lot of pics! <3

[David VB]

Very nice, love the head :)

[Tsubaki]

Beautiful retic :D

[bigsnakegirl785]

Sorry about your loss, and congrats on the new retic! He's gorgeous. :)

[Relentless]

Thank you guys! My girl that passed away was a purple albino, so Osiris is definitely different. I can't wait to see him change as he grows up. :)

[dave himself]

Very nice mate, wishing you all the best of luck with him :)

[Albert Clark]

Welcome back to the forum. Sorry for the loss of Pandora. It's obvious that Osiris is a special reptile. He will be a great addition to your home i'm sure. Keep us updated throughout. Lol.

[Herpenstein]

Beautiful snake!

[EL Ziggy]

Very nice Relentless. I'm sorry you lost Pandora but you really picked a winner with Osiris. I hope he has a long healthy life under your care. Retics are some really beautiful animals but just a little too much snake for me. :)

[Pareeeee]

Sorry to hear you lost Pandora, but congrats on the new snake!

Beautiful snake. Sorry to hear about your girl. That's a tough pill to swallow, especially for us keepers willing to do what it takes to make things better. Osiris is a good looking retic. That being said, what is he? Lol

[KSTAR]

Very nice!

[Relentless]

Thank you everyone for the kind words!

IW17, he is an ivory. :)

[IW17]

Great looking ivory! Love his head markings.

[millertime89]

Looks more like an ultra ivory actually. Who was the breeder?

[Relentless]

Thanks guys!

Miller, Robert Euvino is the breeder. Same breeder that my first 'tic came form. :)

[ReticulatedGuy]

Did you get him from Robert Euvino? :) I have a female ivory from him which means I have a sister of your ivory. :D

[Relentless]

ReticulatedGuy, yes! My first retic that passed away was also from Rob. He gave me a great deal on this ivory boy and I'm super happy with him.

Very cool that we have siblings. :) :)

Nice!! I also just recently grabbed a male platinum from the same Mom also!!!

Big Male Platinum + Big Female Ivory = Big Babys. :D

[Relentless]

Nice! You're going to breed them, I assume? :)

I'm still working on deciding what I would breed my male to.
