Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Reticulated Pythons
1) What morph(s) do you own?
Tiger het albino, Purple albino, White albino, Normal Yellowhead.
2) How many do you own, male or female?
4...2 and 2
3) How old and big is your retic?
Female Tiger het albino is around 6 months, she is pushing 5 ft feeds on medium rats every 10 days. Must be black ones... Female Purple is around 7-8 months, she is 7 ft and feeds on jumbo rats weekly more or less... Male white phase is 6 months and close to 5 ft taking medium rats weekly... Yellowhead male is around 7 months and pushing 6 ft. He's on xl rats every 10 days. All on frozen thawed. As you can see each one has their own way, growth, style, etc... All are friendly and tame except for the tiger girl. She still needs some work. Has definitely tamed down a bit since I got her, but not enough just yet.
4) Why did you decide to own a retic?
I'm 22, I have owned reptiles(hundreds) since I was about 16. I devote so much time and research into them. About a year ago, sold my house. Sold entire collection which at that time consisted of around 50 reptiles from burms to nile monitors. Finally moved, settled down in new place and needed to get back into things. Knowing I couldn't rebuild what I once had in this new place, I chose to turn all attention on what was my favorite animal to keep was up until that point last year. Those were retics, their size, their variety, attitude and sharpness. So I bought 2 and 2 several months ago, and they along with work keep me busy. Hope to begin breeding them within the next 2 years and when the time comes after that, would love to get involved with some of the more seriou$ morphs...
5) Whats your retic(s) name?
The names are Roxy, Remi, Ricky and Romeo.
3 from Bob Clark and 1 from Prehistoric Pets.

Thanks for sharring JohnnyBoy198888, you have a very nice set of retics. I agree with you on this

. Sunny will only eat a medium rat every other week, he will refuse to eat anything unless it's been 2 weeks, this is the reason he's still so small.

Bottom line, retics are awesome and we are two of the lucky ones who have the privilege of working with them. For all we know, Sunny might just wind up being the biggest, 3 or 4 years down the line. They are unpredictable in their own ways but a whole ton of fun!!
