cheers shaun

The big risk is getting crushed, when a female tic isn't interested in breeding you KNOW it, hissing is rare but it happens, they tail wag, blow urine (not always a bad thing, they could just be clearing the pipes) and rarely they gape... but its generally obvious.

Brian Fry is a pretty awesome guy, I've never met him but he has written some really interesting stuff.

I did not, thanks bud.

Yeah no joke, I saw them at the San Diego Zoo and they're just mesmerizing.

wat a beautiful looking feamale. i would really like to see some pictures in the sunlight. then the colors will really pop. i know they do on my girl

**millertime89** · 03-04-12, 11:41 AM

its a little too cold up there for outside pictures with her.

stephanbakir · 03-09-12, 05:29 PM

I took 3 photos before the batteries died, i'll try for more tomorrow in the sunlight (there is a greenhouse of sorts here)
pretty terrible photos but its been cloudy all day, tomorrow should be sunshine.

25lb weight for size reference. she was about 3.5 feet when i got her 09-17-11, maybe 4 feet at most.

Beutiful Retic. Youre so lucky to be able to have somthing like her.

**lady_bug87** · 03-10-12, 02:18 PM

how's the male doing?

stephanbakir · 03-10-12, 02:29 PM

Male is at home (I'm on "vacation" till this weekend, and the person taking care of my snakes cant handle something her size) He's doing fine, once breeding season ended he started pounding food as expected. Hes past 6 feet, probably pushing 7 and still as cage defensive as ever.

**lady_bug87** · 03-10-12, 02:31 PM

Glad he's eating and bulking up for ya, I know it was a bit of a struggle at first. Will you be pairing them together next season?

stephanbakir · 03-10-12, 02:47 PM

Agewise, she will be ready by next season, I'm not sure she will be up to size. Her current growth is pretty intense so I'm optimistic, but i wont breed her till shes ready.

marvelfreak · 03-10-12, 06:08 PM

She looking good and getting some nice size to her.

scottyy · 03-10-12, 11:14 PM

she looks great in the sunlight.

stephanbakir · 03-10-12, 11:43 PM

None of those photos were her in sunlight, in sunlight they shine blue all over. I'll try to get a sunlight photo when weather permits.
