Who is more aggressive Rock or Retic?
Im trying to find out who is more aggressive and who is the biggest of the two and can they breed together? I was watching Swamp Wars and they had a huge Rock on there and they always have Burms thats would be scary if these guys can breed together.

I will say that I have yet to run across a rock that I would "trust". Almost all of them I've seen/handled are very aggressive, even after out of the cage. They will bite just for the fun of it without even coiling! On the other hand, I have yet to run across a retic that is just mean or aggressive. They are almost always very eager for a meal but once out of feeding mode they are just curious and fun! In my opinion there is no comparison!
5.3 normals, 3.1 mojave, 2.4 pastels, 1.0 yellow belly, 1.1 cinnamon, 1.1 het pied, 1.0 pastel/yellowbelly

Are you comparing rocks vs burms? Or rocks vs retics?
Rocks are never nice, in my experience lol
Burms when raised right are like gentle giants.
And retics I have limited experience with, but the one I handled was a sweetheart

I want to know who is the longest, and who is the meanest between the rock and retic.

I've never been around a rock python.. though I'm pretty sure the retics can get bigger. And my time with a retic was nice, they just like to move, a lot

Retic is the longest snake in the world. One of the anacondas (green or yellow, can't remember which) is the heaviest.
And rock is DEFINITELY the meanest lol

The only tame rock I've come across was a Lesser African. The few captive bred ones I've come across were no better than the wc ones. With Retics seems certain locales are more tame than others and it seems the popular ones are the tamest. I've seen a lot of very tame Retics now that most are captive bred.

I don't understand what makes the hybrids so much more "scary" than the pure form. They are both big. In the wild, they are both aggressive. In captivity, rocks appear to be much more aggressive than retics or burms. How is crossing one big snake with another more "scary" than the original big snake?
