sunfire retic update

[scottyy]

well its been a while sense i have been on here and like all retics in the short period i was gone she grew a few feet. just thought some of you would enjoy a few pictures of her and her new cage for now.

How old is it now? He/she? Looks nice.

[scottyy]

she is probably around 8 or 9 months old now

Shes a decent size for a sunfire :)

[scottyy]

im kinda hoping she will get some more girth to her instead of being long and skinny.

Can't see the pictures but I'm sure the Sunfire is stunning. Definetly on my want list.

Be sure to post growth pictures

That comes with time. She'll grow out once she's put on some serious length. If you wanted a really girthy snake a burm would have been a better choice.

[stephanbakir]

Even older retics can keep that body shape, just getting wider but still looking like a tube.

Nice retic, they get really long then will start getting a little girth not much like a burm will they should not look anything like Twinkie that is one overfed snake poor thing.

[stephanbakir]

Fluffy was a great example of a huge retic, a few feet longer then twinkie and 2/3 her weight.

[Jenn_06]

fluffy was a bit over weight too but not that much as twinkie, even the zoo said they had to put fluffy on a diet.

[stephanbakir]

Fluffy was always active though, way moreso then twinkie.

What a wonderful looking snake, can't wait to see how she progresses!

yea i thought about a burm but i just loved her pattern so i had to get her. bt i dont want a lot of girth just a little more and im sure when she grows up she will be big enough lol

she is a good looking snake but she looks very close to a normal compared to other sunfires i have seen. she is kinda just a little lighter in color than a normal.

[stephanbakir]

Yeh, some sunfires are almost orange. Yours looks awesome though.

[scottyy]

thank you. i cant wait till she grows up
