Size question on 15 ft male retic.

Thomas j Dec 08, 2003 06:19 PM

I have a 15 ft male retic. I am new to keeping them. What is a good size girth for him. His is about the size of a 2 liter bottle.

extra girthy but from what I've seen of the big ones a 2 liter soda bottle sized girth is in the ball park. It should be eating good sizedrabbits I would believe at this point but maybe check with someone with more experience with the large retics. My male is only about 8-9 feet and 1 1/2 years old. My albino's and Yellow Head are all babies.

This is my 13 male retic. His girth is about the size of a 2 liter bottle. Sorry for the poor picture quality, but this is him after eating two 1 pound rabbit's and one 10 pound rabbit. He stopped eating for a while and then started eating only small meal's, such as small rat's, within the last few week's.
