Retics have the wickedest patterns and colors, if only they stayed small.. 
And that looks to be a male, judging by the length of the tail. Retics are hard to tell though.

Hey Jim,
Glad to see that you got him. Now you just have to breed him with mates that will best exploit his color and pattern.
Take it easy, Brian

So find another silver, or test him out with a tiger, or albino?

If it's a male,.. all of the above. If it's a female, I would start with another silver like that,. get a bunch of silver babies and then devote the best looking offspring to multiple tiger/super/albino and other morph projects. Brian

Honestly, I don't really want to contribute to the retic problem. I want to maybe breed it just to add it to the species I have bred. People that deserve to own retics are far and few between, and getting rid of a ton of babies is just not ethically right. This in no was means I am qualified to own one...

First of all,
Congrats to you on your new "baby" !! :thumbsup:
AND I too agree.
You see...
I have a rescued 5 1/2' Retic in my herp room right now !
He came to me with around 7 inches of his skin near his tail missing !!! All the way around too.
He was no larger than a roll of quarters in his thickest places,and i thought his tail was already dead flesh.
When i slid him into the enclosure he hit the glass no less than 10x before i could get away so he would stop.
...8 to 9 monthes later,
The missing section of his skin is down to 2" to 31/2" and he/she is almost the appropriate girth for his length which increased by nearly a foot already.
I am NOT looking for any applause etc,merely sharing the truth
about what happens sometimes.
So thanks J. Kuroski and Jeff Favelle for speaking and living the truth !!!
...and oh yeah his/her tail is wriggley and healthy . :thumbsup:
