Finally got a couple of good shots with this little man. Still hoping he looks like his grandpa when he grows up. But regardless, he’s a little sweetie.
Yearling SD het Anery
Edit:
Bonus shots from Jun '25 because this guy was so tiny at 2 months. And his color up is wild
Such beautiful Retics! I’m jealous of you too! 
WOW he was itty bitty! Certainly a glow up over the last year, what a cute little dude!
This is Jinx. She has… personality.
Jinx is a 50% Ternate dwarf Tiger, produced by Rob Rausch. Rob is an amazing breeder, we love him! I did not want this snake. Let me be clear about that. I hate the color yellow, i wanted a big thick mainland retic girl, the bigger and darker the better!
We (my man and I) met Rob by chance at a Nashville TN expo (All American Plant and Reptile). Never heard of him before. I think this was like… our second or third expo? At this time, i had only a boa and a royal, and the man just grabbed his second royal. We were thinking about retics, but that’s about it.
Enter: ROB. We came across Rob’s booth and I’m a talker. The man, not so much. But I do be talking. So, Rob catches my attention and we get to talking and he asks the usual questions- “have you ever kept a retic before? what do you have?” etc. He then begins to talk passionately about retics in general, and the ones he produces, obv. We didn’t know anything really about the dwarf stuff and all that at this time. He grabs Jinx out of her box and he’s teaching and showing examples and ALL this stuff and he was so enthusiastic about it. Not gonna lie, i ate it up. I really found confort in his vibes, as i felt it matched my own.
And then the mistake was made. He let me handle her. I got up close and personal with this little derp baby, and I can’t tell you how many times I looked into her eyes. I reluctantly gave her back to Rob, and Jake and i went back and finished the expo. When we were all done, i said “let me stop by and say bye to the baby…” I couldn’t get her off my mind.
Left with derp baby with the magic eyes.
I hope you enjoy.
My son sent me some new pictures of Titan and his new retic. I do miss having Titan here at home but he does have a nice home with my son.
What a good looking retic! Those orangey tones he has going on are awesome!
And hes really small too
