Dwarf Retics

Calihusker · 12-30-12, 06:14 PM

I'm planning on purchasing one. I've always loved Retics, they just seem to be a more curious and thoughtful snake. Plus, their eyes and pattern are breathtaking. There is, of course, the size factor in normal retics, in-which I cannot accommodate at the moment. So a male dwarf would work perfectly for my current situation. Does anybody have any recommended sites or breeders?

Thanks, Roman.

vital exotics is good. I'll PM you a place where you can talk to all of the breeders and get all the info you'll ever need. Remember, dwarfs and super dwarfs don't always stay small. one of the guys has a 15ft super dwarf.....

Please do watch that male reticulated pythons can becoming very nasty during breeding season. A lot of people will recommend females over males as pets. Best of luck with your search! Keep us updated on what you get!

Ah I wasn't aware of an attitude difference in the sex.

Thanks for the tip.

My collection so far is for the most part, boas. So I want to acquire a python for some diversity. But retics may still be a bit out of my league, and dwarfs are a bit hard to get your hands on at this moment I noticed. Maybe when I settle down in a couple years I'll purchase one. But for now I'm going to look into a Blood. Thanks for all the help though!

bloods are pretty angry too. retics are easy, they just need to be respected. =]

Bloods aren't too commonly aggressive, you can find ones that are great to work with and have good attitudes.

I'd still rather have a retic =] best snake there is, and there's no substitute =]

Too big for current conditions :[

iBaman · 01-01-13, 07:12 PM

a 6 ft cage is big enough...some smaller males can do with a 4ft! =]

I'm guessing you're referring to normal retics and not dwarfs.

Yeah but having a snake that can reach sizes too big for one person to handle alone..

iBaman · 01-01-13, 09:41 PM

dwarfs can be handled alone. =P

Calihusker · 01-01-13, 09:44 PM

Yeah, but I can't seem to really find any normals anywhere. Mostly just insanely priced morphs.
