Retic python arboreal behavior
I just wanted to share this thread I read from a Canadian forum. Since I like to search for different insights on Retic care and behavior.
This gentle men shared something really I've never seen or heard before on adult retics still being arboreal. This makes me contemplate
what adult size cage I will invest in for my retics final enclosure.

Absolutely, reticulated pythons will take advantage of taller cages if they are given the ability to. You just have to ensure that it is sturdy enough to hold them.

Retics are my passion. Just ask.

Is it necessary for them to be able to climb?

Re: Retic python arboreal behavior
Interesting vid. I don't know how many care sheets says that once their adult they don't climb. I've seen quite a few vids where there is a retic out of its enclosure and they shoot straight up.
I guess if you plan to have many retics it would not be feasible. But I'm trying to limit to two so I plan in future years to make enclosure suitable enough. I think it would be a great sight to
have an adult retic just resting above the ground in its cage.

My six month old female retic is in an arboreal enclosure and she definitely uses the height; she spends more time perched than on the floor or in a hide. I think most folks don't give their adults the opportunity to climb as they would need to build structures designed to hold up several hundred pounds (overbuilt for safety sake) inside of a tall enclosure.
