My New Retic

I just bought a Retic from NERD and they sold it to me as a normal but after i bought it they said that none of there retics are normals and that she was probably a calico that isn't showing yet. Can anyone tell if this is true from a picture?

Yeah hopefully she stays tame i handle her every day and tap her on the head before i take her out to cancell out her feeding response and feed her in a seperate tank so hopefully its enough.

Sweeeeet lookin retic. I love the silvery sides. Yeah, im not to sure I would do the tapping on the head thing, you might get away with that now, but you will not wanna be doing that when she is 18 + ft. However, touching her somewhere on her body to associate handling should be fine. Also, you feed her in a seperate enclosure now, but where will you feed her when she is full grown and eating 10 lb rabbits, pigs, or goats etc.... ?? Also, I hope you have a spare bedroom for her to live in..hehe

Yeah i have a room for her when she gets big and the tap on the head thing the guys at NERD told me to do and they do it themselves with all there snakes and i'm not sure about feeding in a separate tank but i do have a tank that is 6'x4'x4' so i could do it in there i think because the guy i got it from kept his retic in there.

By the looks...I dont think so. But who knows? I have not read up on the "Calico" Retic much.

I notice many people mentioning how hopefully it stays "tame." I have seen more "tame" retics than I have aggresive.

Awesome none the less.

I have on hold, 1.1 Ambon Yellow Head Retics. I will be sending the money out in 2 weeks when they're ready, then they will be here in about 3 or less. I'm so excited! I have a 4x2x2 split in two right now (2x2x2 for each.) And while they are in there I will be working on two 6x2x1.

If you want some pics LeoGecko let me know! I sure would love more pics of your Retic!
