Only when they are younger - they are usually red or orange before gaining their green coloring. This is a northern - once I have more experience with it and the husbandry, I would love to get an Amazon basin.

So that is after it has lost most of its yellow/red coloring and before it becomes completely green?

That bateater is beautiful. Hows the temperament, and was the retic parent a mainland or a dwarf? I have to resist the urge to buy when I come across them, especially if the retic was a dwarf. =)

Mainland tiger. I couldn't resist - I find them gorgeous, and I couldn't believe I found some in state. I did a four hour drive round trip to go get her. So far, docile but I just got her.

I love the look of the cateaters, but I don't know if I could trust one. Afrocks are one of those snakes that concern me. I know they're mildly misunderstood like blood pythons, but seriously, if a blood gets irritated, it's going to suck. If an afrock gets irritated and your game is off, that's stitches and major blood loss. I've never had a healthy burm or retic try to eat my face off, but I've had an afrock decide that he was going to use his face to bust his tank open so he could get me.

I'm slowly getting drawn into carpondros (gtp x carpets), just haven't had the cash to make that a reality. I really like the 75% gtp x 25% carpet crosses where the GTP was a blueline, but I really don't have enough kidneys to spare to make that a reality. :)

Yeah, that's why I would like the cateater first - maybe the burm portion would calm it down. Lol. And I feel you on the Carpondros. Absolutely stunning but one heckuva price tag.

I'll be praying tonight in hopes you post more pics, especially of that bateater. :biggrin:
These things look amazing. Could you take him outdoors for some pics in natural light? And how do they behave? Are they squirmy like retics or much slower like burms?

I will see what I can do about some more pics. Maybe even some natural light shots. :)

She's fairly sedate, though I haven't had her too long. For as little as she is, she has the most insane feeding response I have ever witnessed. I cannot wait til she gets some good size on her.

Some updated pics. Last one is a new addition. I received a pair of Kayuadi dwarf retics. That is the male. The female has some issues from pushinhg, so I will get pics of her up when I get her cleared up.







And here is my ugly yet functional and secure ten shelf rack. I built it for my conditionals; all that remains is to label them up. I will never be a professional carpenter, but this saved me quite a bit of money and gave me experience in enclosure building.

A few feeding pics



Bateater getting a soak

My Kayuadi female retic looking bettef


I love some of the retic morphs, but I really think I want to concentrate on the various locales overall. I am thinking Kalatoa, Ternates and Madu for the smallers, and Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi for the largers. Morphs are lovely, but just the wide range normal retics have in patterns and colors is just amazing.
