all right so as i uh as i said previously you know unfortunately uh we lost nefertiti on the move um
here to utah and uh i've kind of just had her cage sitting over in the uh in the corner i haven't
really wanted to do anything with it but i got two new snakes in today and uh i'm not one to just
waste the cage so i am now retrofitting her old cage so this cage is 10 feet long it's
three feet deep it's 18 inches high um when i had it when i had mark from junglecages was
build it i had him put two heat panels on one side to give a proper hot spot especially to a
snake of her size so what i'm doing is i remove the one heat panel and i'm putting it over here
and then i'm gonna take this piece of acrylic and mount it right here in the middle and i'll
essentially split this cage into two cages so it'll be two five by three by eighteens
this is a platinum lavender gc and she's an adult female she's about six years old she's a big girl
obviously she's like i said she's not going to five by three she's gonna go in a different cage
and have her own her own space but i gotta make this cage so that she can have her so we got that
girl in come on there you go and this is actually as i said earlier so this is the only lavender
albino that i have in in my collection got a white phase got a purple phase now i got a lavender
um and then the other one will go in one side of this this is a phantom that's got some other
recessive genes that i'm just gonna leave out for right now sounds good but i'm pretty
pretty excited to have her here as well and she's uh she's about three years old
so got about another year till until she's ready to breed this is carmen this is my
phantom triple head anthrax genetic stripe and remit ghost jeez and you can see the difference
in her pattern versus that other girl so if you guys thought ball pythons had genetics!
so yeah you can it's just it's so much different
versus this girl it's just so interesting how the hets can influence
the visual appearance well really want to thank you for letting me come here driving
all the way out here i know you guys have all this craziness and stuff man i i appreciate
you coming out it's a long drive just to just to come see some snakes you know what it's any any
driver you get to see something cool like this and somebody who's doing stuff the right way and being
open and honest and trying to you know not not to run anybody through the ground on
online or anything else but moving forward with the reptile hobby like in any way that we can
just moving forward in general you're someone who's very open honest up front about that
and it's great and i love that you're able to you know do something like this especially with
these animals that are just so crazy like they're so intelligent they're such individuals and
just the size of these things like they make great great animals but not not for everybody
no they're definitely not for everybody man and that's something i tell almost anyone that i talk
to like would i recommend a retic for anyone? no i wouldn't you know they're just not for everyone
uh even if you love reptiles if you don't have the space the time or really the confidence to work
with animals of this size and this intelligence you really shouldn't um you know i've been doing
this for close to a decade i've had more than enough close calls and bitten more times than i
can count um you know i still keep coming back to do it because i love these animals right uh at the
same time like you know while i think reptiles can absolutely be for anyone these particular reptiles
you you gotta have a certain affinity and a certain want to work with these guys right well
with that in mind um if people are interested in getting to know you these animals learning forward
maybe even possibly purchasing one from you where can they look and where can they find you at it
you can find me on any social media channel um facebook's probably where i'm most active um
