    Reticulated Python Q & A Update

    Hey Guys,

    I am getting ready to sit down and produce another education series on reticulated pythons for the youtube channel - what I'm looking for from you guys is some questions you want answered. This could be myths about size / weight. Breeding attitudes. The economy of reticulated python breeding. Genetics. Locales. Crosses. Laws (Federal or state). Husbandry. Etc. . .

    So down below, ask a question, and within the next week I will post an update discussion video with the retics.

    I know I have not been AS active online lately, but the move is finally wrapped up, work schedules are coming to a flow, and some normality in life can return soon!

    Cheers

    Will my snake eat or hurt my cat/dog/hamster/child?

    This may be a general or sore topic but I have a friend who is interested in getting a ball python and is leaning on the fence of "no" because she thinks a ball python will eat or hurt her 2 cats. Granted this question is more toward a BP, i think it can be applied to a retic as well. Perhaps an explanation of "feed mode" or possibly how well retics get along with other species(including humans). Just throwing ideas out.


    What is caging a retic like? How in depth or minimal can you go with caging/decorations etcc?


    This question is kind of for me, I see your caging and Expensive Hobby's caging is similar to a BP, but much bigger. Do people build large enclosures/rooms with trees and ponds and such for retics? Like a walk in display of sorts?

    I would like to know more about the SD lines:

    I know the only pure SD is the "normal" and the "anery", where males will max out around 5-6ft, however going to shows and seeing different percentages like 65.2% F1, F2 etc. gets confusing fast because there is so much misinformation out there about full sizes. At what point in crosses can you expect an SD to stay at a 5-6ft managable size? I love tics, but know there is no way I could even keep a Dwarf, and the last thing I think anyone wants to do is get a snake that they are told will stay "small" and be in over their head. I have see pictures of the wild caught 2ft male producing sperm plugs. Is this a new local or just a very small SD?

    Re: Reticulated Python Q & A Update

    Out the research I did, some of the hardest information to find was sizes by sex of various crosses. I would assume this is because of the variability and relative newness of the animals in the pet trade, but it would be neat if you could go through some of the more common crosses and give relative size ranges (50% kalatoa f1/f2 male/female, 75% kalatoa male/female, ect.) You could maybe even go through some of the less common crosses, because I know you have some less common crosses in your collection that haven't been on your youtube for 7-8 months.

    A 3ft adult female? This seems like it would be a major game changer even from the current SD lines!

    It's not FULL grown that anyone knows. But the females largest on that island reported were 5 ft
