2 New Additions

One of my pet peeves with this hobby is people who do not do there research. Basic things like husbandry, care, feeding, ADULT SIZE.

Anyways, I was contacted by a friend of a friend. Long story short, he bought a Retic and Burm without realizing how big they would get. Ironically enough, I have a guy building me an 8x3x2, double stack because I was planning on getting a Burm and Retic anyways.

Right now, there both small. The burm at about 5 feet and the retic at about 2.5 feet. So happy about free new guys.

Female Retic, allegedly het for albino "Lizzie"

Male Burm "Teddy"

Re: 2 New Additions

Is that a mainland retic or some sort of dwarf species?

Re: 2 New Additions

The guy claims it is a normal het Albino. I have no clue as far as mainland, dwarf, etc... From what I have read online it is a normal. About 2 months old and already almost 3 feet long.

Re: 2 New Additions

That burm is sweet.. I would love to have one some day but I don't think I could take on that big of a snake and with the restrictions I'm sure it'd be impossible to get a dwarf

Re: 2 New Additions

The retic is a mainland, some dwarf blood is possible but I don't see it at all. She's gonna be a big beauty.

Beautiful additions Aaron, can't wait to see them grow.


Snoopy: depending on what state you're in a dwarf burm may not be an option. A kalatoa male retic shouldn't get bigger then 6 feet. Something to think about.

Re: 2 New Additions

Very nice additions. Is Teddy a teddy bear as his name would imply?
