After toying with the idea of a larger snake joining our little family for a while, after a lot of debating me and my OH went to The Reptile Room in Cleveleys, which is an absolutely fantastic place, to go and see a few.
We'd been considering boas and the bigger pythons, and handled some adult and juvenile retics (pure and dwarf), amazingly beautiful animals! After a lot of discussion, we ended up coming away with this little sweetheart who caught my OH's eye! She's a Dwarf Sunfire poss Double Het Genetic Stripe and Albino 
The pics really don't do her justice, and the poor girl doesn't have a name yet  |

| Thanks guys, she should only reach 9ft max so still managable. She's proving to be a really sweet girl so far! |

Hiya
Have to agree shes stunning
I had hold of a 39kg slightly unsure retic last week and gotta say it took some real concentration and strength to control the big sod, constantly wanting to go its own way and also seems to love heading towards the face, no way was I letting it up to that area when it has a history of striking and another thing that surprised me was how active it was, really took me by surprise but definitely a new experience to cherish and learn from, really can`t see how people handle these full size retics apart from in great numbers lol
A dwarf is a very good choice i reckon and gotta love them eyes

Got a lovely royal python called earl, a brazilian rainbow boa called zeus, a red tail cross boa constrictor called dorris and an albino burmese python called angel as well :-)

Welly: Expensive in a word lol £700, but thats because she's a good example sunfire poss double het genetic stripe and albino, normals are less heart attack inducing!
Thanks Martin, they do love faces for some reason! Helia likes to climb up through my hair and sit on my head! The retics in The Reptile Roomweren't strikey really, Helia tagged me last week but only after feeding so pretty much expected! |

I love going to the reptile room, its a great place to look around and never gets old but not competitive especially when it comes to accessories.
congrats on the lovely boa, not my cup of tea lol (too big), but gorgeous

Why going to "just have a look" is a bad idea!
