Hazard A Guess? - Retic Size

Unfortunately i didnt get to bring this guy to The HSI 'Show & Tell' as he was deep in shed. LWhen i came home from work i was presented with two suprises. One a freshly shed retic and the other the most colossal sh*te he has taken to date. (more than likely due to the recent rabbit)

Camera is on the blink and even with a fully charged battery im lucky to get 4/5 photographs out of it. Wanting to re-measure him i went about using the snake measuring tool. Iv confirmed that this software is very accurate on two different occasions by using string to confirm if the size was accurate. First time it was out by 1 inch and the second time it was out by less than 1 inch.

Anyways id like to hear the estimates of what people think he is now. Not the best picture but used a Samsung phone as reference. What do you think? I was suprised myself.

Also if you have answered on another forum you are banned from guessing here!!

i'd say somewhere between 6 and 7 foot maybee, absolutely stunning though.

Close

Cheers he is doing well! Very strong too gave my arm a good squeezing tonight.

Haha, you preempted what I was going to do, didn't you :P

i was trying to go by the floor tiles lol they should be about a foot, i'd reckon he would be strong even at that size..........

where did my post go from my phone!!!!!!!

hes looking well. kinda wish id gotten a purple when id the chance. no room now!! lol
hes bulkier and longer than my fello whos the same age. i did guess just shy of 8ft.

I'd say 6 1/2 ft.

Cracking retic tho

Oh.......8.5 ft

stunning retic mark and i would say 5 to 6 but then i am wick at this

He's looking well Mark and still loving those eyes. I guess he is just shy of 7ft.

He has to be longer than 7ft surely, my supertiger is 7ft n im only jus feeding him med-large rats now.

At 7 foot, you could do with bumping him up to rabbits Chappers.

Some of ye are very close to the mark on size!

hes still very slender, not quite ready for them just yet i dont think..

8ft 4in i think but lovley snake anyway

im with karl, 8.5'

im gonna go 8-9 ft... no idea...those fone are small tho and some tail disapeirs so 8-9ft

Sorry to keep you all waiting. Havnt had time or day to have a good browse of the forums.

He is 8ft so few people very close. Recently got a 2-1 made for his tank. I needed a new hide but also wanted to put a shelf in for the extra floor space. So i got a hide built but it can also support his weight and has a raised ledge so subsrate can be put on it so win win :) already up and using it.

Pics or we don't believe ya! :P lol

Ill get some later if i get a chance. Getting head shaved and legs waxed for charity later... Apparently everyone saying the waxing is extremely painful so if im not curled up in the fetal position ill get them up.

oh leg waxing isnt exactly comfortable! i only got one strip done and that stung enough, all the best with the whole thing! hope you raise plenty!

Best of luck mark. Waxing is not the nicest experience but you will be oh so smooth afterwards

Thanks all!

I can say without a doubt waxing is very unpleasant and not something ill be running out to do again... Legs and head are so cold now...

For Dutch anyways. Have to get some new bigger branches that can run under the spot and water dish. Entrance is a bit big for him atm but will have some nice plants on the front and inside soon.

Urate has also since been removed for any animal activists

and there was me thinking we were getting some images of the event

That looks like an awesome set up Mark.

Actually now that you say it Tan i thought Dutchy was saying it about the Shelf / Hide thing... Was probably more to do with the waxing / shaving haha!
