Jampea Retic

Last measured at just over 12 1/2 foot, this girl has grown somewhat since then. Her climbing frame needed upgrading, so some more of the stripped branches are now in her viv too:

OMG she is huge. What's she like temperament wise? I would love some of those branches :)

Looking great Dutch...do you varnish the branches once they've dried ?

She's so much like the two brats here. Same grey belly as well as everything else!

I like her digs too. No matter how much room we give the bigger snakes here, I never feel they have enough space. Can't wait to get customising massive vivs with shelves to climb in the near future!

Thanks folks.

@ Tan - temperament wise, she's fine to handle. She was an absolute demon to begin with, but with the work that Chris has put in with her, once she knows you're not feeding her, she's fine now. I'm often busy handling her myself whilst Chris cleans out her enclosure or changes her bulb etc.

Fair play to you Milca (and Lisa and anyone else who keeps these) as much as I say I'm a wuss when it comes to many snakes I could never ever be comfortable enough or find enough bodies to help me with one.

If anything their size and strength must be impressive in the flesh and demand respect. I have never seen or held one so large. Can I just ask, how fast can one this size move if trying to flee?

Very fast..... Lol :)
