Start hook training him now - crack open the enclosure door, slip the hook in, let him investigate it, and open the door the rest of the way once he settles.

Yeah that behavior is cute now, but it won't be in a year.

I got the first pick of the females of that clutch, so I've got your snake's sister! Such an incredible animal. Very inquisitive little thing!

Beautiful girl! Keep us posted on her growth! I would eventually like to get a dwarf rectic as well but thats at least two years from now. I actually read a lot of the responses you got so I have plenty of time to do my homework on them :gj:

Interesting. Mines very curious too. I was worried she was going to be flighty, but she's not. She has pooped and peed on me more than any other snake though. I'd love to get a male in the future. Wish there was more morphs available, anery is pretty similar looking. She is incredible, I must agree.

Mine's a tad flighty as I'm getting her out of the cage but she calms right down as soon as she's out. Mine has also voided herself on me more than she has in her cage hahah! Super fast metabolism and growing quickly. Shed three times in the last 6 weeks and already up to 108grams from 59grams when she got here!

Mines was 114 when we weighed her a couple feedings ago. Shed twice. Both times she had the last 3/4 inch of her tail shed stuck. Its weird. I was able to get it off, never seen it stick in the same spot twice like that.

Updates on her?

Was just thinking about this thread, weird. I'll have to get updated pictures. She's doing great. Last time we weighed her she was 200g. I'd say she's about 30 inches or so now. Had her out today. Climbed up on my shoulders then onto my head. Pooping and peeing are her favorite hobbies, which I've heard is a retic thing. I've come to realize that I probably won't be buying anymore ball pythons after owning her. I'd love to focus on super dwarf localities, when money allows.

ok i just found out that the inactive FB page for SD Retics belongs to a local guy who has a pair of 100% pure Kalatoa's. he's a guy name Brian of Breaking Balls (lol!) in Tacoma, WA. he currently breeds BP's and will occasionally breed his SD pair if he can fill a waiting list or something. i learned all this from our Reptile Show this weekend. he's got pix of both SD's on the page. gonna reach out to him and see whatsup. :)


Edit: adding pix - this is him with the full grown female.
