New retic owner seeking advice!
Hey guys, First of all I am relatively new to the forum, so hello! I posted a few weeks ago because my new baby retic was not eating, the users who replied with advice were awesome! I got her to eat a few days ago after not eating for a month! Anyway, I just had a few questions for all you experienced retic owners out there: First of all, any general tips/advice? Something maybe you wish you knew when you got your first retic? I own a few adult Boas but never a snake this large. Any advice on handling? how often etc? I don't want to stress her out but I also don't want a un-handleable 17+ ft snake on my hands some day. My last question (for now) is: any suggestions on temporary cages while she's growing? I have her in a 36" long plastic tub for now but that was literally the biggest they sold at my local home depot. She's about 3.5-4 ft and 470grams now, I don't know how long she's going to fit in there and I don't want to keep buying appropriately sizes expensive cages as she grows I want to keep it as cost effective as possible until she's ready to move into her final home, which will be an 8ft cage. So any suggestions on housing for the time being would be awesome! Thanks guys!
