Talking He's Here!!!

Been waiting to get this guy for over a month, the weather finally cleared up so here he is! Pure Kalatoa SD retic, pictures aren't the greatest because I didn't want to disturb him too much. Turns out he's in shed so he'll be looking even better pretty soon here!

Thanks! He's a neat little guy, I expected him to be a bit angry and bitey when he came out of the bag, but he just sat there and looked at me. He's even come out a few times today!

Re: He's Here!!!

Thanks Steve! He shed today, not sure if he got all of it because it was in tatters. Debating on whether to wait to feed or feed and then try to inspect him for eye caps, etc.

Thanks Ziggy! He's definitely something new for me, he took his first meal for me today! It's going to be interesting trying to help him get his stuck skin off in a few days.

Thanks Dave!

He took his first meal last night, caught him perched this morning! As you can see his first shed didn't go too well, but I fed him anyways in hopes it would help calm him enough to let me look him over in a couple days.

Re: He's Here!!!

Awesome little guy, i love how big their heads are compared to body when they are that little. cant get enough of those orange eyes!

for sheds and feeding i have a large plastic tub in my cage for my girl and will fill it with hot water(85-90F) she loves to swim and soak in there after a meal and during sheds.

Good looking little Kalatoa there. Males typically top out under 6 ft.

Under no circumstances should you be feeding a retic in anything other than it's enclosure. With their intense feeding response and their ability to grow to quite large sizes you're putting yourself at great risk for a feeding response bite.
