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.

yea not what i said or meant at all. i keep a large tub in the cage as a water bowl

Kyle I think you skimmed that last post. Hesaidthe tub was inside his cage. No me til. Of feeding outside of the cage.

Your kala is beautiful Adrian. Looks almost exactly like my male.

Thanks guys! I'm very happy with him. He's been out perching a lot, I love it. Bought him a pack of 4 small mice today for $10, I cannot wait to buy some food in bulk because thats outrageous...

Here's his set up. I've added some smaller hides since this pic was taken, and am probably going to move the waterbowl to the warm side once he settles in a bit more.

Nice little fella you got yourself

That setup looks great Adrian. That's a lucky little kalatoa. Now prepare to not experience the extremely fast growth Retics are known for... My male is still tiny compared to when my female was his age.

Thanks! I'm sure the branch is going to make it a pain to clean in there but I suppose we'll deal with that later. I lol'd at that last part, guess that makes the bulk food a lot better! I planned on buying 25 rat pups and 80 or 100 weaner rats for all 3 snakes.

Nice looking Retic and set up.

I gotcha, I was confused about that whole thing. Makes more sense now.
