Which is best: dwarf retic, blood or diamond carpet?

So as a breeder i want to expand to a new animal and want people who have any of the snakes listed to tell me who is best in terms of sales, temperament and ease of care.

Unless someone has all three snakes and breeds them, your answers are going to be somewhat scewed. A person that breeds Bloods will tell you they are easy, etc. You're going to need to find someone that has bred all three snakes in order to get a qualified answer. Plus if that person isn't in your general locale, their experience could be different than yours.

Good Luck!

thinking as a breeder i think it is better to stick with one species and stick with it, that's the easiest way.

to answer your question, id say diamond python, but like jim said, I keep carpet pythons, so what do I pick?

as far as sticking to one species goes im far past that however i know everyones opinions are bias, but i want to know why everyone likes the animals they have.

I can tell you dwarf retics can be very flighty and nippy the mainlands have a better tempermet but with a dwarf still be prepared to have a snake reaching 14-15ft in length. I have a 3yr old mainland yellow head male retic and he is pushin 12ft. Be prepared to shell out some money for food with a retic unless you breed your own feeders. The mainland i have is very gentle but he does have his days. Ive had him out in public with no issues. Ive owned bloods they can have a nasty temper or they can be very docile they are make wonderful snakes. Carpets also have a good temperment. if you wanting a snake that wont exced over 10ft then go with a blood or carpet. I can tell you now for my retic like he sits not havin his permanent enclosure here. or his other temporary encloure finished that im building I have probably about $1400 tied up in him total with everything so far. and with a retic you might want to check your state laws. I have to have a permit just to own him and to transport him. and i do not handle him alone.

that retic is awsome. he looks just like the male that was sold to me as a "dwarf" years ago. he hit 12' in the first 18 months lol. normal yellow head mainland tic's are by far and away cooler looking than any morph out there IMO. and i would agree that in the days we live in retics dwarf or not are not the best choice for a breeding project.

I agree but if you want a retic that will stay small get a super dwarf and them still have some attitude to them.
