@lutex442 "Snakes have a weak support structure for actually supporting the raising of their upper torso".

Really, dude? Where do you get your snake info from?

First of all snakes don't have "torso's" lol. And second, snakes very easily can raise nearly half of their body stright up in the air. And no, snakes don't "raise heir heads to attack"- they coil back the first 1/3 of their body and crouch low before they attack. I have 3 reticulated pythons as pets, I know more than you about snakes.

@Slyther83 Yeah I'm pretty stoked on the projects :)

But I totally agree, white phases are so awesome. I actually think they look better than the purples, but I figured I might as well mix it up with the genetic potentials if I am gonna be doing multiple albino breedings, ya know?

And yeah, a white phase suntiger baby is gonna be my holdback if I get a good one. If not, then a white sunfire is 2nd choice. Kind of my dreamsnake so I figured might as well make my own!

@SpiderShane1 the platty tiger is doing awesome, shes on multiple super jumbos at the moment. i'm still trying to convince her to take rabbits... white phase suntigers are gonna be bright as hell- white phases are pretty underrated i think. everyone wants purples and i love mine too, but i think my tiger white phase looks just as damn good

[SpiderShane1]

@SpiderShane1 Oh, and another albino female.....purple tiger, WOOOOT. Going for white phase suntigers with my white girl, and if I get the purple tiger up to size, I might be able to get lavender supertiger sunfires the next year as well.

Things are lookin good bro!

@Slyther83 <------ is the only other guy I see in the comment section that also keeps retics & frequents monstersnakeforums, so all you other "experts" can just keep your second-hand knowledge to yourselves if you are going to post garbage info.

PS- hey man, hows your platty tiger doing? I got a suntiger het white phase male coming from PP soon for my white phase girl. Should make some cool babies, I reckon! Fingers crossed I hit a few white phase suntigers!

@Slyther83 huh? :D

[Slyther83]

@FANTOMTRON if you knew anything about large constrictors you would know that snakes in excess of 30 feet are well within the scope of reality.

Reptiles do not have a petuitary gland that controls growth..short of disease or a predator and given enough time they can become immense.

this is one of those rare youtube pics I believe are true...saw this years earlier...the photos were shot somehwere in Africa during WWII...they weren't there for a pleasure photo shoot but in their job to spot German's and happened across this snake...wow...

@mozzimo31 yo I hered about that snake too. That's scary. There was a giant snake in Jamaica that blocked up a frigging truck. The truck had to turn around. The giant snake was hanging around some tree above the road.

giant snakes are 100% real. this pilot is telling the truth
