HI Just wandering what is the honest to god truth on average to how long and how much ana dult male retic weighs...normal...also how much and often does it eat and defecate...thanks alot
would l;ove to see pics

I've seen male retics right at 20ft long but I'd say that is not the normal. In my experience, males usually topped out at around 14-16 ft and my largest just under 19 ft. I have no idea how much they weighed other than alot, lol. I've always fed my male retics and rocks on a 3 week feeding schedule of one large prey item, usually pigs or goats. I would alter the feeding schedule as needed to keep the snake in prime conditioning. I wish I had some pics to show but I'm just now getting back into the giants.
