Retic Pics

[ballpython2]

I've had several Retics as well, including a 14-footer(wild-caught)and a Super Dwarf that I have now. The wild-caught imports tend to be much more prone to biting, but then, most live in places where they are regularly hunted and killed for their skins, so perhaps the ones that are the most defensive-aggressive tend to have a better survival rate. All of the captive-bred Retics I've had, or handled, were pretty mellow snakes, but a lot faster and more alert than a Burm or a Colombian Boa. Their skin feels a lot softer than a Burms, too, and it's hard to beat that Retic irridescence!

I think i have already asked you this but super dwarf retics their maximum size is what now? and who sells them?

Beautiful snakes! I've always admired retics. They have such a fabulous pattern and iridescence. I probably won't ever have the room or desire to maintain such a large snake, but I really do enjoy admiring your pictures.

How right you are...that snake is really huge especially when you see it in real life

I know that Bob Clark and Steve Gooch both breed Super-Dwarves, and to the best that I have been able to find out, my little guy was bred by Bob Clark, although he's really a Super-Dwarf x Seleyar Island. Seleyars are another small, insular subspecies, but more brightly-colored, with more yellow and bolder markings(more like Johnny888's), than most of the island Retics. My male is at least six years old, and is a proven breeder, but he's only six feet long, and is actually smaller than my biggest male Black Rat Snake. Most of the Super-Dwarf males seem to max out at around six-eight feet, although females are larger, up to 10 feet, and heavier-built.

Thank you all again for those comments!

What kind of Retics are they? Are they Normals? Sorry I definately do not have any experience with Retics..

Yes. they are all normals and all were wild caught as a hatchling but I raised some of them to best possible way I can to maximize their growth potentials.

how big do the males normaly get?

beautiful snakes by the way

My male retic Sadik is a 13 footer at present but I have some friends with a bigger ones.

I caught some of my previous ones before in my own backyard but I bought some of the new ones and some of them from trade.

WOW!!
Nice pics.
I really like the South and North Luzon and Mindanao Island ones. The Visayan Island also looks but a close up would be nice .
You are truly blessed with the wildlife that surrounds you.
Where I live we have several exciting species to observe such as the Northern Decay and Garter snakes

I've had a 10ft. wc female for 1 1/2 years, just cause it took me that long to tame her lol. Seems that the wild ones are just very scared and if you work with them very slowly and gently they stay calm, sometimes took 2-3 hours to get her back in the cage after hiding in the top of my closet but working that slowly and cautiously really paid off. She only struck at me once when I was trying to get her out of the top of the closet with a hook lol the rest of getting her used to me was gravy.
Only have one right now that ive had since she was 2 weeks old, a baby 13ft super tiger I'll see if some phone pics turn out decent enough to post, and if I can hold her long enough to get pics lol she likes to explore.
