Awesome, indeed.

kelzerman · 12-16-13, 02:06 PM

May I ask how many of you it took to get them outside? lol

lemon · 12-22-13, 06:32 AM

Lol.

Just 2 of us.

Too be honest it's normally just me and a friend that handle them. Their heavy and a sometimes difficult to get out of their vivs but fairly easyto be honest lol.

I would love to see what they are housed in.

Mikoh4792 · 01-12-14, 10:53 PM

are they obese? They don't look like the retics I usually see( lean and muscular)

I think it's a female thing, especially if they breed, I've never seen an obese male. I'm just guessing though.

*drools small puddle* someday somday...

Lubeybooby · 01-18-14, 02:40 PM

Wow they are BIG and beautiful!

Teal · 01-24-14, 04:49 PM

Wow! Lovely large ladies!

**Tsubaki** · 01-29-14, 05:33 AM

Gorgeous girls!

really like their pattern, and i would love to see how you keep them!

However i do have to agree with Mikoh, they look.. slightly overfed. They look plump in stead of muscular, and it makes their head/body proportion look off. Can i ask how often you feed them? And i might of missed it but how old are these pretty ladies? Everyone has their own way of doing things, and your feeding schedule obviously difference a lot from my own, thats why i'm curious

Hi,

Their both just genetically big to be honest but they aren't underfed either.

The Normal Het Albino is currently on one giant rabbit every 3 weeks and the larger Platinum retic was fed purely on Guinea Pigs before she ended up in my ownership. She takes multiple guinea pigs whenever she fancies feeding which is usually every 2-4 weeks. There's no real set feeding routine plus the Platty stops feeding for a month out of every 3 due to a slow shedding cycle. This small prey size has resulted in the plattys head being quite narrow as she's never consumed and won't consume large prey items. Unlike the Het albino she will take the biggest of rabbits no problem and has a shorter but wider head.

Both snakes have recently eaten in the pictures but they had to be dragged out their enclosures due to them requiring being cleaned out.

I'll try and find some other photos that show their true digested girth.

Here's a couple

One of my friend handling the Normal Het Albino and family and friends handling the Platty.

those sure are beautyful, hows there temperments? pretty laid back? that big of snake sure must be a handfull!

**Tsubaki** · 01-31-14, 12:34 PM

wow beautiful!! Their build looks a little better in these pics, very nice animals! I can only hope my tiger will grow to this length. (Personally though i think once every 3 weeks is way too much, my adults ate once every 3 months. However i don't know how old these are, and i'm not judging everyone has their own way)
