Super Dwarf Reticulated Python Pics

[SSSSnakes]

I just picked up a Super Dwarf Reticulated Python on my vacation. It was originally one of Prehistoric Pets snakes.

Here are a few pictures.

What a beautiful SD! And i love the eyes :)

[Norm66]

Very pretty! Great pickup. :)

[MoreliAddict]

awesome snake. nice taste

[Kiljosh]

How big to the SD Retics get?

I love Retic's eyes but the size they grow to is a serious negative in my eyes.

[marvelfreak]

Man Jerry he is stunning. Congrats on one super sweet pick up. We'll be needing a lot more pictures of him once he settles in.

Should stay under 10'

[millertime89]

if he's even 50% SD he'll stay under 10, if he's 75 it'll be closer to the size of a regular SD, and that's not just a regular SD, its a tiger, so it'll have some mainland blood, but no idea just how much. Nice pick up.

Beautiful snake Jerry, congrats :)

[exwizard]

Very nice. Everytime I see a pic of an SD I think "If only..." I am jealous btw and wanna say congrats on this one. SDs are aweome!

Thanks. I feel so stupid. I was so excited about the snake that I missed it was a Tiger. Nice catch.

yeah, and he's a pretty nice example of one too.

Congrats on the retic.... i LOVE the eyes.

[BarelyBreathing]

Ooooohhhh..... aaaaahhhhhh.

I want.

[Terranaut]

Love retics but as said above. Just to big. But a SD tiger has me thinking ;)

[SSSSnakes]

Ooooohhhh..... aaaaahhhhhh.

I want.

You always want what I have. lol I'm sure you will get one someday to add to your zoo. You have many things that I would like.

[BarelyBreathing]

Want to do a trade?

[alessia55]

Beautiful SD. That's a great pick up. Please post more photos once he's all settled in :yes:

[SSSSnakes]

Want to do a trade?

Would love to. You and your better half would have to come up and do it in person. Free room and food.

[BarelyBreathing]

I like the free food idea. What would you be interested in?

[Freebody]

very nice !

[Trent]

very nice retic!!

[millertime89]

an SD tiger is definitely on my short list in the near future. I'm not a huge tiger fan, but the combos that they produce are amazing. I would do naughty things for a motley tiger superdwarf.

What do have mean and deadly? You know I'm a big fan of the venomous.

[BarelyBreathing]

The only venomous I have (besides monitors) is a hognose, and that doesn't really count. I have tons of aggressive, though. I'd trade a few Amazons, possibly an emerald.

[BarelyBreathing]

Oh, hubby can get his hands on some eastern rattlers!

[KORBIN5895]

I want an eastern rattlesnake! What are they worth?

I just got a 7' Eastern Diamondback Rattler. Mean as anything. I love him. ETB are cool. I love some of your dogs.

[BarelyBreathing]

You can't have my dogs.

I have no idea what they are worth. All I know is that hubby helps out removing unwanted snakes from people's homes/yards/garbage cans/vehicles/barbecues and because he has his license, he can do with them what he wants.

[BurmeseGuy]

Very Nice Tiger SD...I am a huge fan of Tiger retic but not a big fan of STigers idk why but this one is absolutely gorgeous love the iridescent reflection on the top of it's head...nice colors...awesome pick up...where did u vacation...lol i need to go there

I love to buy it but i am waiting to see how the whole snake Ban goes here before getting anymore snakes.

[BurmeseGuy]

That's cool can't say that I blame you...who knows maybe I'll still have him in a few weeks but I hope not...lol

retics aren't on the list and won't be put there, if they add just retics to the list they'll run into a world of problems.

Yeah but Illinois is trying to pass a law banning all Pythons and Boas.

[BurmeseGuy]

I ended up selling him to a local breeder for $300.00 I made out like a bandit, traded a tattoo for him...it costs me $40.00 to do a tattoo so I made a $260.00 profit so I'm happy it will go toward finishing my enclosure...they passed the same law here in Indiana last month I guess after May you may keep what you have but sales will no longer be legal on Retics...I don't recall seeing Burmese on the list but it doesn't matter the one's I got aren't going nowhere no matter what

[millertime89]

ah yeah, that stupid BS, the whole thing just pisses me off. The snakes aren't hurting anyone. I wish we could regulate stupid.

we'd live in a much better world if you and I could regulate stupid...lol

You may know this and it was brought up a little bit earlier in the thread but there are no true SD morphs so be prepared for a snake that will get larger than a true SD. A lot of breeders will try to sell them as if they were but as we all know they usually don't give a hoot about the animals or the people that buy them. I have a pair of true SDs that are only a few feet long at over two years old. I certainly don't power feed so they could be bigger but they are not starving either. I just want people to be aware of this.

This snake came from Prehistoric Pets a reputable breeder. It has been eating like a pig and has stayed at around 3'.

true, but if you speak with some of the big retic breeders they'll tell you that even the 50% SDs don't typically grow to the same size as even the other dwarfs. I've seen 50% SDs (whose other parent was a 14 foot male platinum) that were only around 7 or 8 feet at 4 years of age.

Jay seems like an all around good guy. I feel you can trust him and Tim to be honest. They don't want to ruin their reputation.

[bighog85]

I'm not saying that they will attain dwarf size but they aren't true SDs so they will be bigger. I know Jay and Tim personally and they are good business people but if you ever go to their shop you will see that animal care is quite low on their priority list. They certainly produce some incredible animals though, I will give them that.

[bighog85]

Also, unfortunately what is going to happen is that these true SD bloodlines are going to keep getting watered down by people that want a morph. It's becoming more and more difficult to find a true SD and that sucks because you can't go back from that.
