Brian is coming on nicely and getting a bit girth on him too hopefully will have him in a forever home next month so looking forward to decorating that and watching him bask and explore rather than hide in his cave getting heat from the mat
he was out lazing on his bamboo root so grabbed a few pics

Anywhere between 6-8ft for the kayuadi think the rule for retics is all 4 sides equate to length of snake they recommend a 7'x3' for adult mainlands about 18ft in length to stop them becoming territorial |

What size will your dwarf get? I thought 8-10ft was fairly standard for a dwarf then about 6ft for super dwarf? To me that should be in a 6ft viv? |

Not sure how big the dwarfs they've got get as its a newish line i know mine would be fine in 4ft and they do recommend not giving retics too much space as the get territorial so he's right about the coiling up bit. not sure if thats the same with the coastals though they are big but id say about 8ft. yeah darren is leaving the morpeth one to run blyth as he's from blyth too don't know if they are leaving Chris in charge at morpeth though |

Aye, I mentioned you had a bredli and he was very jealous!! Ah so its gonna be blyth? he told me there would be a new shop soon but he wouldnt tell me where. So that will be his shop will it?
That worries me about the lack of experience left at morpeth mind. The young lad there was trying to sell me a dwarf retic saying it would be fine in a 4ft viv. He then said that the 2 coastal carpets they have are 10ft each (no way), but only take up 1 square ft of viv because they are always coiled up (this was his justification for dwarf retic being okay in 4ft viv). His priority seems to be selling instead of animal care. He also sold that repashys superpig to my mate as a complete diet for his gargoyle gecko. |

Jonny what did you think of the viv fittings? The dowel holes on mine were drilled a bit too big and the dowels could easily be pulled out so i might have to glue them or add extra screws |

I like it because I don't like having the viv on the floor, and it looks good with them matching so well. But as a cabinet it's fairly crap!! I'll take some pics of the inside for you |

Would love too but haven't got time before i order it as wanting to order it to arrive by the weekend. I've seen the viv itself before but not the cabinet. would you say its worth the extra £70? |
