That is an awesome video - seeing it going up the tree like that is phenomenal.

Thanks for sharing. That was pretty amazing.

Thanks for sharing. It really is amazing how an animal that large, and with no appendages can climb a tree that fast!

[Reptile_Reptile]

that was interesting but i was mostly just afraid that the monkeys would maul the retic.

That is amazing how he goes up that tree.......wow thanks for posting (I was thinkin that too reptile.........poor snakey so outnumbered

geat video mate

scrub pythons move in the same way at the same speed

carpets in general will climb like that

imo with retic's and scrubs attaining roughly the same lengths it gives them more surface area so greater speed

the retic moved at a fair speed on the ground as well

thanks for sharing that mate

cheers shaun

That retic climbed ~20-30 vertical feet in seconds....incredible! As you mentioned Shaun, climbing style is like a carpet. Also reminds me of BRBs.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice video, and a really great site overall. Just browsing the reptile page for a few seconds, I found videos on African Rock Pythons, Adders, Grass snakes, Green anacondas, burrowing pythons. Oh yeah, I got that sucker bookmarked. Thanks for sharing!

welcome all glad u liked it I thought it was pretty amazing thers a old yet impresive video on youtube of a retic taking on a tiger just serch retic vs tiger might lessin your concern over the snake and monkeys lol

[Lankyrob]

That tiger retic fight is awesome!! There is also a anaconda vs capybara showing the snake eating the biggest rodent on earth, amazing!!!

[Ch^4]

^^ Agreed! The tiger was lucky the retic didn't get a good grip on it, or it would have been lights out!

[Reptile_Reptile]

i think he meant tiger morph retic. cause i couldnt fiind a tiger vs retic vid maybe a link?

[Lankyrob]

Nope defo a tiger fighting a retic - when i viewed the original video above (tiger vs retic) there was another video of the anaconda vs capybara on the list to the right

[Reptile_Reptile]
