Bittersweet Day (New Arrival)

[uhhlise_nacole]

The planning for this arrival has been in the works for a few days now and have had such mixed emotions about it. We were approached by someone offering a baby Retic in exchange for 6 of our BP's. We debated on this back and forth pretty heavily as to obviously having special attachments with all of them. Had been talking about thinning out the herd for a while to focus our time, energy, and resources on solely a couple big guys Would never attempt our first Retic on top of so many other critters. We were also VERY upfront about the recent mite issue so that that this gentleman could be extra observant and take proper precautions. He has apparently been in the business for quite a while so he had a game plan already in place thankfully. But anyways, it's been very bittersweet. I feel we've gained a lot with our new guy but it's a bummer to look around and see so many empty setups. Will definitely be posting pictures in a few days due to him having some severe shed issues right now. Working on getting him prettied up. I'd definitely appreciate some feedback on exactly what he may be (I can't necessarily tell), we were told tiger het albino. I couldn't wait to share the news with everyone as the giants are thankfully so supported here!
