What size enclosure were you thinking for yours as an adult?

Honestly the whole room idea wouldn't be bad if no issues were to crop up but I don't own a house yet so an idea for the future! I do like the enclosure I see that take up pretty much a whole wall with what looks like a small pond in it...obviously something else that I couldn't do until a place was mine. She'd definitely make a beautiful display animal in a living room though I guess that might not be too nice on guests lol

No I don't think there is any dwarf blood in them. From the picture I have of the mother she looks hefty enough but not super long. He could have meant that's how long she was in the picture not today too.

The picture from the breeder.

Right now I'm just planning on an 8'x4'x3' since it's easier to get a cage from a PVC company than make something myself that I might not be able to remove from our home and then have to move cross-country in a few years (granted either Lacey Act is null or someone can ship her). I'm currently living in trailers and apartments while I wait until I can buy a house, so I can't make what I'd like. haha When I own my own house, I want to make something floor to ceiling and at least 4' wide, and maybe 10'-12' long. I'm not sure if I'll combine some cages or make one from scratch, but I'll see when I get there I guess. I don't have the expertise to convert a room, but if I meet someone who can maybe I'll do that. haha

She could have some dwarf blood in her, or just be a small individual, depending on if she's grown any bigger since then. I'd maybe ask the breeder about that, if her mom's got dwarf blood, or both her parents are just small, you'll probably have a small retic when she grows up.

Okay so I did ask about moms size. She is a 12ft girl that he has had since she was a hatchling and he said no matter how much she was fed she just didn't grow past that mark. He said that her line tends to stay on the manageable size even though they are certainely not dwarfs.

I don't have the expertise myself for building anything and I'd probably cut off a finger some how trying I wouldn't mind hiring someone in the future to create something though if she stays on the small side it wouldn't really be necessary but I think she's too pretty not to have some sort of beautiful display cage! Even though I'm certain I'll be cursing my head off cleaning it all the time
