True Super Dwarf Retic - UPDATE!

My female Super Dwarf Reticulated Python just shed and I was cleaning her tub so I thought I would take a shot. Excuse the terrible lighting and mess. I still need to get outside shots to show color properly but it's hard to take shots of a quick moving small snake like this by yourself :) I'll get some outside shots when I enlist some help.

She's looking very good, nice pattern and color.

Those eyes!

Wow Brian she looks awesome! Has her temperament held up? And how big is she now? I remember the video when you got the pair they were such wee little snakies.

They look cool but you can really appreciate them watching them in action. They follow every little thing. Super smart animals.

She's my "interesting" one. She can be a little more complicated to get out of the tub but once out, is just as laid back as my male is. The only exception is that he's that way all the time. She's got me once good (if you can consider it that). The other times she's just bumped me in a mock strike. Once she's in hand she relaxes and will just hang out. She has emptied a few times while I was grabbing her. I assume this was defensive also. I think this is more of a defensive posturing because she's in a tiny tub and I'm a large scary thing grabbing her. The male doesn't care at all. I put my hand in and he flies over like you would think he's going to strike but then just stops dead and lets you grab him. Very interesting. She's a whopping 107g :D That's up from 69g when she came. The male is up from 47g to 95g. Decent growth for a few months. Their muscles and movement are much more fluid now. They were shaky little hatchlings when they arrived. Cracks me up thinking about it.

She is just gorgeous. I don't think the BP fever is limited to only BPs, because I want one!

Awesome animal! She is a "true" Super Dwarf Retic? Roughly how big should she get and where did you get her? I would love to add one to my collection!

She's stunning, thanks for sharing! As always, I'm envious of your SD retics. :P

She is really growing. Hard to believe she's the same snake from your first post. Looking great!! I can't wait for more pics:D

Looking god Brian, I'm loving them from afar, ball pythons are addictive enough :P
