I cant stop

So I was cruising around craigslist this weekend and came across an add for a female tiger retic and couldn't help myself, the guy I got her off of I don't think knew how to take care of her, she was having a bad shed and said he has never had a retic that had a good shed which is a complete bunch of crap, got her home and dropped her in the tub, ill get better pics this weekend, but she ate like a champ the next day. Think she was under fed as well.

Nice save Steele. She looks a little thin but I'm sure you'll nurse her back to great health in no time. Best wishes.

Re: I cant stop

Thanks guys, he said she was about 2yrs old and she is only about 8 to 9 foot, he said he just recient switched her to large rats which she should have been feeding large rats for a while at that size. I fed her 2 large rats Sunday and she took them both with ease, ill keep her on 2 large rats a week for a while till i bulk her up a little then make the transition to rabbits and give 1 every 2 weeks.

Re: I cant stop

Wow she's that long? Honestly as skinny as she is I assumed she was a Juvenile. Good save. Just keep her away from your other critters till you know she's safe. Keep us updated on her progress

Re: I cant stop

She looks like she could be a year old, tops. I guess when it comes to snakes, looking younger than you are isn't a good thing. Glad to see she's in more capable hands. Keep us posted!
