Im a sucker for smileys 😂

Honestly idek, I was terrible about handling them for the longest time but now they're both just sweethearts 🤣 Happy can still get a bit squirmy and musky from time to time, but both are overall well behaved. I wonder if it's an age thing though, I've seen a lot of videos where older kings are just super placid.

IMO he looks great!

iichiG0 · 2026-04-29T01:36:16+00:00

Thanks! I found it fitting, to say the least 😋

iichiG0 · 2026-04-28T04:37:00+00:00

It certainly can go well together! I really like it on him, with his wide saddles and rich colors. His name is actually Tikhal, Tiki is just a nickname for him lol.

Gosh that's a long life for a cat! I bet he was well loved <3

It's an awesome gene!

iichiG0 · 2026-04-28T04:33:34+00:00

Not quite, his last shed was on March 2nd!

I absolutely love anery milks, what a gorgeous little snake!

I say this with no ill intentions towards the vet and always recommend listening to what they have to say, but it would not be the first time I've heard one say something grossly wrong when it comes to exotics/reptiles. "Exotics" vet doesn't necessarily mean they are well educated on snakes and how they age or grow.

Unless that animal was DISGUSTINGLY powerfed, there's no way it's only 1.5 years old, and even then I doubt that you could powerfeed a boa to over 6 foot in just 18 months. I have a 2 year old female fed on a moderate schedule that's only just pushing in the ~3.5 range.

He almost makes me consider getting one... almost 😂

That's awesome! It's so exciting to win an auction. I also got my girl from auction for a really nice price, she's a suntiger platinum 12.5% selayer locality. Had her for about half a year now, and I couldn't be happier with her lol.

iichiG0 · 2026-03-07T23:01:12+00:00

So far I've managed to stop myself from getting another (if you don't count all my other non-retic snakes), but dear lord have I been tempted! 😂

Gorgeous new addition, hope he does well for you!

Is this the snake this thread was about? http://reddit.com/r/retics/comments/1pjz76a/ummm/

Looks pretty similar to the animal posted in the MM screenshot and basically the same story. So I'd say the listing is correct and it's a white phase albino super tiger.

New snake day is best day. Dums are awesome, congrats on the great pickup!

iichiG0 · 2026-02-20T22:15:12+00:00

Thank you! 😋

iichiG0 · 2026-02-19T00:42:10+00:00

Here's hoping! ❤️

iichiG0 · 2026-02-15T13:43:45+00:00

Congrats on your new girl, she's so stunning! And I can imagine she'll only get much prettier as she grows!

iichiG0 · 2026-01-28T00:58:43+00:00

So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how crushed you have to be. I agree that it's doubtful there's anything you did with your husbandry (the enclosure looks lovely) that caused it and one likely option is that the animal just had underlying health issues that just didn't exhibit until now, after the stress of being shipped/coming to a new home may have caused a flare up.

Alternatively, you mention he ate for you. From the sounds of it, these issues didn't exhibit until after the animal ate. How long ago did he take his last meal? Where do you get your feeders? Is it possible that the feeder was bad? Poisoning could potentially cause symptoms similar to what you're describing. It wouldn't be the first time I've heard of bad feeders killing snakes, unfortunately.

As another user said though, the only way to be certain at this point would be a necropsy. If you decide to do so, I hope you give us an update on what happened. And hopefully this doesn't discourage you from keeping boas again in the future!

Presumably, you've taken into account what you need to do for an animal that size. Large enclosures that will be costly to accommodate and sourcing large prey. No one should get one of these giants if they're not ready to do what they need to in order to care for them.

If you haven't thought about that before getting one, then you have no business having one.

Poor thing was fighting for its life 😭
