Can't see the pictures but I'm sure the Sunfire is stunning. Definetly on my want list.

Be sure to post growth pictures

That comes with time. She'll grow out once she's put on some serious length. If you wanted a really girthy snake a burm would have been a better choice.

Re: sunfire retic update

Even older retics can keep that body shape, just getting wider but still looking like a tube.

Re: sunfire retic update

Nice retic, they get really long then will start getting a little girth not much like a burm will they should not look anything like Twinkie that is one overfed snake poor thing.

Re: sunfire retic update

Fluffy was a great example of a huge retic, a few feet longer then twinkie and 2/3 her weight.

Re: sunfire retic update

fluffy was a bit over weight too but not that much as twinkie, even the zoo said they had to put fluffy on a diet.

she is a good looking snake but she looks very close to a normal compared to other sunfires i have seen. she is kinda just a little lighter in color than a normal.
