Early 2012 50% SD Tiger Reticulated Python
Well guys, my newest addition craze has come to its final halt for the foreseeable future. I have been gearing up quite a bit of breeder stock over the last few months, and today marks the day of my last add on to the stock (Yes, I need to get this in writing to help keep myself on track!).
Not too long ago, I worked out a deal with Priceless Pythons for an adult Super Dwarf Tiger Reticulated Python (50% SD Blood). And recently, I have been searching out a female to pair him with down the road, hopefully 50% or greater SD blood as well, but I wanted either Platty or Tiger. Unfortunately,
not too many people are breeding into these morphs at these % right now, since a lot of people are working into breeding Albinos, Anery, and eventually Snow Retics. But Thankfully my persistence and somewhat patience pulled off recently when I got a hold of Travis Kubes to see what he had available in my needs. Sure enough, he had 2 50% SD Tiger Retic females left for this year and after a phone call, some pictures, and some texts the deal was closed, and the snake went out the next day. . .
Fast forward to this morning. . .
Fedex arrived on top, I pop open the box, use a hook to get her into her QT tub, and here she is, stunning!!! With a lot of pattern influence from the SD Blood, this is going to be a Knockout Retic!
