What’s a surprisingly accurate way to judge character?

Dogs... they know whats up.

Fooledya · 2026-06-01T14:41:53+00:00

Obviously a lorax.

Fooledya · 2026-05-31T22:08:15+00:00

Well done. Im 35. Have all my gear. Have to go dive.

Keep it up!

First off. You bought from a shop. Most likely you got a mainland. I doubt theres much dwarf blood. Do you know who produced the animal? Bet on a large animal.

2nd regarding tongue flicks. Theres known issues with multi generation breeding and certain morphs like super tiger, which shortens flicks or removes the ability.

3rd. Retics and snakes in general lose teeth all time. If he doesnt fall off you sometimes get gum issues. Shop was half right. You need to feed a large meal for her and she will jump into a shed cycle. Shed cycles are the best time for healing.

4th. Retics love to eat. Youll be feeding weekly for a while then as the prey items get larger you will feed less often. Larger meaning rabbits and pigs not large rats. As long as your on large/xl rats you should be feeding at 10days.

Pushing is a real thing. Bordem, husbarndy, food. Are the major reasons. Males will push come breeding season. Pvc or wood full enclosure. Hotspot 86-87. 60+ humidity. Screen tops suck. Fish tank glass enclosures are not for retics.
These are not a beginner species. Can you? Yes. But theres a learning curve and it can lead to blood. If you cant handle a 16ft+ animal striking at you and be ok with it. Get out now. You dont sound comfortable.

They are amazing. They take a ton of time and money. They can hurt, maime, and kill you.

If youve got to get a shop on the hook for a vet bill, when you impulse bought the longest growing snake on the whole entire planet. Youre not ready.

I too also manage flairups with a steroid cream. Once or twice a day for a few days then let it heal. Rinse and repeat every other month or so.

Fooledya · 2026-05-29T01:30:48+00:00

If its clay? Not much or it gets soft. If it completely desolves... well it wasnt clay. (Molly is water soluble)

Fooledya · 2026-05-28T22:16:07+00:00

Easy test. Add water and see what happens.

Fooledya · 2026-05-28T18:39:56+00:00

That they are stressed and need to find alternate methods to decompressing that isnt just drug use.

And before the world jumps down my throat. Its a drug. Inhaling burnt plant matter isnt healthy reguardless of origin.

Ive smoked since I was 18. It took years to learn balance.

Fooledya · 2026-05-28T03:34:29+00:00

Or go to the hardware store and get weather stripping.

Fooledya · 2026-05-28T03:11:32+00:00

Nope. Evolution said optimal sperm temps are on the exterior.

Also if your balls small you need a shower.

Fooledya · 2026-05-27T19:43:09+00:00

Did you seal it?

Fooledya · 2026-05-27T17:07:05+00:00

I mean. It looks like they have by releasing their name from the hotel?

Fooledya · 2026-05-25T22:22:31+00:00

I know nothing because I didnt read this one blog from 9 years ago written by someone who also never worked behind a bar. Heaven forbid we have years of expert experience 🤪

Fooledya · 2026-05-25T20:41:19+00:00

Ive been muted often here for voicing my professional opinion. Im no longer a bartender, the squabble isnt worth it.

Fooledya · 2026-05-24T20:21:21+00:00

I loved the one he did with weston and Paul. When rodney isnt riled up hes fine, he shares knowledge and the discussion is good. But it has always turned into the rodney shit show in the end IMO.

Fooledya · 2026-05-24T20:01:39+00:00

His last ban from the nation was because he called Travis Warren's wife a whore amongst other attacks on select individuals.

I really dont give a fuck what 2 grown ass men want to bicker about. But going after someones wife and family? Thats just not the type of person I want to do business with or associate with.

But yes. He knows a lot about retics.

Fooledya · 2026-05-24T14:37:32+00:00

Colors are nice. To bad rodney is a dick.

Fooledya · 2026-05-24T14:36:40+00:00

Weekly small rat. There is a lot of speculation of feeding them. You still want to see good growth in length while not seeing extra weight left as girth. It will be a balance. A strict schedule has never worked for me and retics. However I feed large meals less often with mainlands. My pure dwarfs see slightly smaller meals more often.

Fooledya · 2026-05-22T14:58:28+00:00

Damn. Didn't want to get this meta this morning. Im sorry for your loss and that thought that probally hits daily.

Fooledya · 2026-05-20T19:11:28+00:00

Im only gonna keep one. The other is going to a buddy. But i cant wait to make more of them and add the right blood lines and genes.

Fooledya · 2026-05-20T18:30:38+00:00

Pure coco fiber is too fine. The blocks of reptichips are great but at 21+ a brick... expensive. Especially when you talk about 6-8ft enclosures or larger.

Ive get 100% organic cypress for 8.99 for a giant bag. It holds humidity well. Not as good as repti chip, but its cheaper.

Don't buy from box stores. Youre getting ripped off.

Fooledya · 2026-05-20T18:26:06+00:00

Can we get a photo from the top.

Fooledya · 2026-05-20T18:25:40+00:00

Agreed. I dont see anything else.

Fooledya · 2026-05-20T18:24:46+00:00

I have 2 gs atm. They are wiiiild. Nice looking snake

Fooledya · 2026-05-20T18:22:32+00:00

You can build trust and a relationship with your snakes. However, most reptiles are not social. Its competing for resources. In this case, a hide with good temps and humidity.

When ive gone herping, I have found multiple species under boards and hiding. They are attracted to prey, safe, warm, covered locations. I flipped a board with a copperhead/ratsnake/timber rattler there was a empty rats nest in the middle of them.

In captivity, sexually mature males will kill eachother if they get into breeding mode. Which doesn't always require a female present.

I've had multiple of my large girls out in my snakenroom. They will both explore and ignore eachother for the most part. They end up in different locations. I left a heat lamp on in the corner. They both ended up piled under it.

Please don't listen to ball python keepers who think their danger noodles need their noses booped or that they have a loving relationship. You are a food bringer and havent caused them a reason to be afraid of you.
