I would imagine a tiger retic would grow about the same as a normal retic, which means (at least in my mind) that it could be at least 8-10ft within a year depending on food intake.
I had a normal retic reach 8 feet in 10 months, and that was on once a week feedings.

yah, that sounds about right.
Males grow a little slower, and usually are fairly thin until they hit the 11ft + mark.
I have seen 9 foot males that are really skinny, even ones that are well fed.
6ft at just under a year on mice, that sounds about right, although he should be eating medium rats at that size.
I imagine it will eat whatever you give it, if it is in good health.

yea it definately shouldnt be eating mice. But the size sounds about right mabey should be a little bigger. I have heard that retics should never be fed mice and usually start off on rats.

[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img] Ok what do you all think of this name for my male tiger retic, "Seth" ??? Il send Bry a pic of him so he can put it in for me and you can see what he looks like.. Im working on a cage for him now. Its gona be 5ft long by 3ft wide by 4ft tall and it will have a glass entry door at one end and one in the front of the cage. This should work till i can get a better cage built for him which in the future will take up my whole bedroom wall.. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Depending on the doors in your residence, I would limit the width to 30" rather than 36" in case you ever want to move the cage out of the room it's currently in...

[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Yeah he does look pretty good in these pics.. well see how he looks when i get him home ..

Just send him down here, he'll be powerfed till no end.... 5 colossal rats every 3 days should suffice. Just kidding....lol He looks good. Get him on medium or large rat once a week for a while them move him up to jumbos. Good luck with him he is nice.
