New snake! Introducing...

[Tsubaki]

My new Reticulated python, Genetic stripe Het Albino. Very pleased to find such a beauty around here, they are everything but common in these parts! He is about 8 months old, should stay fairly small. No name yet, Considering Link or Ozai, maybe something different (All my giants have 4 letter names, all my boas 5 letters haha :D) Took some pictures in the car as i knew getting home it would be dark already, his colors are hard to capture.


I like this picture, it looks like he was looking forward to go home :D

Even more beautiful in your pics! God do I love his eyes!!!

[Tsubaki]

Thanks Mink! And im quite surprised to have 3 retics with bright orange eyes!

[Mmrseed]

Very nice....but it's all about the eyes. Something about those serial killer bright orange eyes. That's the whole reason I had to have a retic

[Minkness]

Lol same here...but I don't have one yet....when I find an affordable lavender albino sunfire super dwarf though....yes...so much yes!

[PsychoSnake]

I LOVE the first picture! Congrats and the new little one!

[Tsubaki]

Thanks guys :D and serial killer eyes, don't think ive heard that one before!! Serial rodent killers... interesting..

[Mmrseed]

Thanks guys :D and serial killer eyes, don't think ive heard that one before!! Serial rodent killers... interesting..

It just stuck with me. Long time ago I had a malamute with wicked cool eyes and this girl I was dating said she didn't like my dog looking at her. I asked why she didn't like dogs looking at her and she said normal dogs with normal dog eyes are fine but not those crazy serial killer eyes

[EL Ziggy]

Great pick up Tsubaki. He's a real stunner! Retics are some of the most beautiful snakes out there, and I really love the giants, but I just can't keep em. So I admire them from afar. :)

[Tsubaki]

Good reason for me to keep sharing my lovelies! Thank you El-Ziggy

[ManSlaughter33]

I want a retic so bad :( you can't keep them here. They were basically banned unless you had a permit before the ban, then youre allowed to keep them. Too bad

[Minkness]

Is that all of Canada or just your province?

[Tsubaki]

Oh im sorry to hear that :( wouldn't want to be without. Id move probably. .

[ManSlaughter33]

Icouldnt tell ya.
I've never thought to check.
If they are allowed elsewhere in canada, looks like I'm moving

[IW17]

Beautiful, one of the nicest I've seen.

[dave himself]

He's beautiful the blue/grey down his sides is stunning mate

[Tsubaki]

Thanks IW17, i am so glad i got to buy him :D ! He is also really docile, just had to handle him again. Didnt plan on it but he tossed his (heavy stone) waterbowl already! As tiny as he is! Prepared a different tub before touching him, transferred him asap and left the room, gave him a waterbowl that is size swimmingpool for him, so he wont topple it again . Such a stressful day for such a tiny snake!

Still can't decide on a name though.. Link, Ozai, Hiro, Ryuk, Sora.. so hard...

Edit: Thanks Dave! I love those markings :)

[Minkness]

I vote for Ozai!

[Slithersaurus]

What a beautiful Retic! I would consider getting one if they could just not grow into a monster. xD

[Tsubaki]

Ozai huh, hmmm still thinking about it :D
@ slithersaurus, thank you, and this is not going to be a giant !

[Slithersaurus]

Oh! This one is a super dwarf form? I am jelly then! Here super dwarf are really rare and if being sold, would be like triple the cost of the ordinary form which is super high already for a morphed one with license. (Yes, retic are illegal to keep here without getting license.)

[Albert Clark]

Amazing reptile! Congrats Tsubaki, you are always a cut above in more ways than one. I dream of owning a giant one day. I think it will be a burmese though. Keep us updated on the retics progress. Thanks for sharing.

[Tsubaki]

Thank you Albert, i will keep you all posted :)
@ Slithersaurus, he is from a small dwarf line (No officials super-dwarfs) According to who i bought him from, his daddy was under 10 ft.

[reptiledude987]

Retics are fine here in Ontario. Beautiful pickup as well :D

[Tsubaki]

Thanks reptiledude :D

[Tsubaki]

Still stuck on names, Ozai and Hiro being my favourites, Link is great but doesn't match. Anyway, offered him a mouse hopper today, as that was what he was eating and i got a bag of them from the seller. Took a few seconds and then in his enthusiasm he missed twice :D but he took it, idk if he actually ate it as i left immediately after snapping 1 pic. (Through the plastic in the dark, but I'll share it anyway)

[Relentless]

Gorgeous!! I love the eyes on the Genetic Stripes. They just seem to pop so well with their coloring. :)

[Tsubaki]

Thanks :D and yes they do, he is also so small that he is still a bit bug-eyed :D

[PatrickT]

simply stunning!

[Tsubaki]

He ended up not eating that mouse i gave him, let him rest a while again and gave it another go. He grabbed it very enthusiasticly as he did the first feeding attempt, but again did not proceed to eat it. So i left him alone again.. yesterday as i walked by his tub he struck at me at least a dozen times.. I defrosted a mouse in warm water and offered it warm, as he did eat it im just going to assume he's spoiled and wants his meals preheated :D .. will warm them up for a while before trying room temp again. Adding another horrible phone pic to show a nice full belly !

[dave himself]

It's always good to see that first feed :). Keep the updates coming mate

[Tsubaki]

Yes it is :D made me a very happy girl!

[David VB]

Very nice new addition ;)

[Tsubaki]

Thanks David :D
