I went in the snake room earlier today to enjoy them just laying there and only on opening my Burmese vivarium, i smelled poop. I didn't even noticed it before, but might be due to the fact that it's a bio active setup. Guess you'll see it immediately when the snake is on paper

Very nice collection!! I have some extra work with only one retic... I can imagine having 6 (or more).. .

Question: do your pythons shed like leaving pieces of the old skin everywhere always, or there are sometimes that they shed leaving "a big sock.." haha! mine, always create a mess with the pieces of the old skin.

Some shed in one long piece, some shed in a bunch of little pieces. I keep them all the same so I can't figure out what the difference is.

Forgot to mention that I've only got two snakes that have no dwarf blood in them. I've got 9 retics total and 7 of them have dwarf or SD blood in them (and two are pure SD) so they will stay a manageable size and only three will ever get bigger than a big carpet (GC 50% Jampea, but she's a picky eater so she may not; Sunfire Platinum, she's about 16 ft now and is with a friend who is breeding her with a male; Motley 25% dwarf, she's about 10-11ft now). Furthermore I don't push my snakes at all, I believe that retics should be long and slender and that's how I feed them. If they don't become giants then I'm not complaining either. I don't care how big they get or how many eggs they lay. I want healthy animals.

How big does a 50% Jamp GC usually get? I know that's a really variable question, but I bet you know more about it than I do

.

Heyyyy... didn't you say you'd post some more pics of her?

Probably not much bigger than 12ft since GC is a dwarf morph so she's probably 75% dwarf (50% jamp 25% dwarf).

I did say that but she's been pushing so her nose is swollen right now. I'm waiting for that to go back down before I take more pictures. I'm also leaving on Saturday for a week so she should be good (or back in shed) by the time I get back.
