HTDesigns Jul 25, 2004 03:34 PM

Hello to all here in the forum. I have a question for you all. I want to get a pair of retics but am worried about feeding them. not worried about what to feed them but how much.

for example...what would a 15 foot retic eat? a 5 pound rabbit? or would you need to feed it more? and how offten?

thanks for your help

Stephen,

You have to have the image hosted somewhere else on the internet, and then type in the image's URL underneath the box where you put your message. There are two Link URL: boxes, and then a third one that is Image URL: box; type in the images link on that third line.. and it will attach.

If you need someone to host it... email me (admin@childeoffyre.com) and I can host it up for you to post. I'd love to see a picture of that 18 footer myself. =)

you can also just upload phots on the kingsnake phot galery. It is quick and easy. When you run out of room you can just delete them and you can put on more pics. Just click on phot galery and go to upload pics and just follow directions. when you have done thta you can select the pic to the right of :Select Image from Photo Gallery when you are posting a message.

2-3 5 pounders at a time would be good
