i have a baby retic about 38in long.
the thing is i forgot to ask if it was a female or a male.
how fast and big will it get if it is a male compared to a female.
i bought 6 mice yesterday and she ate them all, im not going to
normaly do this, but i want it to get big quick, without hurting it.
when i was feeding her she would jump at anything that walked
by her feeding cage, and when i i touch her when she is in her
cage she turns and looks at me, is that normal.
can you tame a little mean retic, she is fine when i have her out

you really don't want to feed anymore than 3 food items at a time, each swallow is harder on their throat than the last, I realize you said you'r not going to do this normally [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] any pics? what's the temperment like outside of feeding?

Please, you are really not telling us that you have a Retic and you do NOT know the adult size of a Male/Female?

Oh dear [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Record rumoured to be 33 ft. Definately female I reckon. Guess at anything between 18 and 30 ft eventual size, depending on sex and feeding regime. Do NOT underfeed or overfeed it!

Go here for some very very good caresheets.

www.reticulated.co.uk

It's a UK based site and is the home of a guy who breeds and deals exclusively in large BOID's, his speciality being Retics/Rocks.

Good luck!

Well I think the above says it all...Retics get huge. Hope this answers your question. Females get larger than males. I believe they have the bigger bodies to be able to hold the Eggs/Young, whichever applies to the species.

I hope you are expecting a LOT more than 5 feet, Angel. Its not uncommon for female retics to reach 9 feet in their first year. And, you can expect more than 20 feet for an adult size. Maybe you already knew this [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] .
