Thanks IW17, i am so glad i got to buy him

! He is also really docile, just had to handle him again. Didnt plan on it but he tossed his (heavy stone) waterbowl already! As tiny as he is! Prepared a different tub before touching him, transferred him asap and left the room, gave him a waterbowl that is size swimmingpool for him, so he wont topple it again . Such a stressful day for such a tiny snake!

Still can't decide on a name though.. Link, Ozai, Hiro, Ryuk, Sora.. so hard...

Edit: Thanks Dave! I love those markings

I vote for Ozai!

What a beautiful Retic! I would consider getting one if they could just not grow into a monster. xD

**Tsubaki** · 11-29-15, 04:28 AM

Ozai huh, hmmm still thinking about it

@ slithersaurus, thank you, and this is not going to be a giant !

Slithersaurus · 11-29-15, 06:05 AM

Oh! This one is a super dwarf form? I am jelly then! Here super dwarf are really rare and if being sold, would be like triple the cost of the ordinary form which is super high already for a morphed one with license. (Yes, retic are illegal to keep here without getting license.)

Amazing reptile! Congrats Tsubaki, you are always a cut above in more ways than one. I dream of owning a giant one day. I think it will be a burmese though. Keep us updated on the retics progress. Thanks for sharing.

**Tsubaki** · 11-29-15, 06:58 AM

Thank you Albert, i will keep you all posted

@ Slithersaurus, he is from a small dwarf line (No officials super-dwarfs) According to who i bought him from, his daddy was under 10 ft.

Retics are fine here in Ontario. Beautiful pickup as well

**Tsubaki** · 11-29-15, 04:00 PM

Thanks reptiledude

Still stuck on names, Ozai and Hiro being my favourites, Link is great but doesn't match. Anyway, offered him a mouse hopper today, as that was what he was eating and i got a bag of them from the seller. Took a few seconds and then in his enthusiasm he missed twice

but he took it, idk if he actually ate it as i left immediately after snapping 1 pic. (Through the plastic in the dark, but I'll share it anyway)

Gorgeous!! I love the eyes on the Genetic Stripes. They just seem to pop so well with their coloring.

**Tsubaki** · 12-10-15, 04:50 AM

Thanks

and yes they do, he is also so small that he is still a bit bug-eyed

PatrickT · 12-10-15, 05:39 AM

simply stunning!

He ended up not eating that mouse i gave him, let him rest a while again and gave it another go. He grabbed it very enthusiasticly as he did the first feeding attempt, but again did not proceed to eat it. So i left him alone again.. yesterday as i walked by his tub he struck at me at least a dozen times.. I defrosted a mouse in warm water and offered it warm, as he did eat it im just going to assume he's spoiled and wants his meals preheated

.. will warm them up for a while before trying room temp again. Adding another horrible phone pic to show a nice full belly !
