Retic video...

Re: Retic video...
I saw that episode. They would not have had that problem if the two retics were housed in different enclosures to begin with. On a side note, it would totally hurt to get hit by a snake that size

Re: Retic video...
Wow...that was quite something. That video could be a really helpful tool for showing to people who seem to think buying a baby retic (or burm) is a good idea. Show that and ask them if they have the facilities and the extra people it takes to handle an animal that size, especially if the animal in distress.
Not to mention showing the consequences of housing animals together that wouldn't normally live together in the wild.

Male and female retics may actually spend considerable amounts of time together in the wild during breeding season.
Does anyone know if the two snakes in the video were actually housed together year round or if they were just introduced for breeding? I know that the Australian zoo does do a lot of captive breeding projects with reptiles.

I checked their site and it says that they do breed the retics for conservation purposes. However, nothing was mentioned about housing them separately year round.

I know in the episode she's laying eggs, he isn't in the same enclosure as her

Well, that's why I wasn't critical about the two being in the same enclosure to begin with. I figured it was just as likely that they were together for breeding purposes. That being said...you can still point to the video and show what happens when two snakes are housed together. It's a risk you have to accept to breed them, but one that is easily avoided when not trying to make babies.

Those deeps wounds on my skinny arm would've meant I'd have some gaping holes for show-and-tell.

Found another video. This is a old movie of a retic fighting a tiger. I don't know if it is real or what... Interesting thou.
