    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hobbes is my little tiger retic, I've had him since January

His Retic Grin....unnerving!​
 
Very handsome boy, Tigers have always been and will remain one of my favorite if not my favorite retic morphs ever and he really has some great coloring! Keep us posted with updated pics, can't wait to see him as he grows into a stunning adult. ;)
 
I need to get some newer pictures of her, but right now she's going into shed again. It's almost like she's growing

Er, let's try that one more time. Pics of Lilith, hatched out at the very end of 2009. Tiger Het Albino and a total sweetheart so far. Going into shed again soon, these are slightly older pictures.

As long as you raise them right and handle them regularly they are some of the best snakes in the world, just never forget you have to have ultimate respect for an animal that will reach his adult size and you will be fine. :thumbsup:
 
If you need help with him, don't afraid to holler at me. Or Brian! I think we could handle em ;) :thumbsup:

I actually learned that very early in respecting every snake I handle...from big to small. Though of course with the Tiger Retic...it's a different type of respect that just has to be there.

Thank you for the input I think this really has helped me to realize I need to bring him (and the bigger one I haven't shown you all) out more...

Believe me I won't hesitate to squeam at you all if I need help...and you're closer so probably get stuck with Retic Rangling with me! lol
 
We recently acquired an '05 dwarf female that is about 9' long and had her out for the first time yesterday. Still rather defensive, startled us a bit, which likely startled her back. Not as defensive as she was when we got her though, looking forward to socializing her more...preferrably without getting bit. Our baby tiger is still a sweetheart though, have her out almost daily.

Lol, I always get this picture in my mind of someone putting a snake into a headlock, or close lining one when people say" snake rangleing" dunno why lol

I've wanted a dwarf from the first moment I knew they existed but...have to wait! I hope the social rehab works on her! lol:eek:
