Nagi the Tiger Retic

This guy has already become my favorite snake. Retics have a reptuation for being, on average, a bit ill-tempered, especially when wild-caught. Not this one, he is truly a lover with a great personality and immediately took to me at the reptile store. His personality is sweet to the point that I feel guilty when I put him back in his cage, he just wants to hang out with me all the time. I've been wanting to get a giant python for some time but did not have the space. Now that I'm moving from my tiny apartment into my own house I'll have room to build the enormous enclosure this snake will require. Besides his awesome temperament he is also a real looker - his patterns are gorgeous and bright and his skin has a rainbow iridescence. I've read comments from people that retics seem to be somewhat more intelligent than other species and it does seem true with this one.
