Super Dwarf Reticulated Python Care and Information

[Sauzo]

So I didn't see any mention of this but for those with SD retics, how are their temperments on average? Are they as laid back as boas or are they generally flighty? Asking mostly about females. I've got a couple AP cages coming and when they get here, i'll have a couple temp/quarantine tanks free and been kicking around the idea of either a Jungle carpet from Nick Mutton, a Hog island boa from Vin Russo if I can catch one when his female has babies or possibly a SD retic from Vital Exotics. Never had a retic so not sure about their personalities and from what I have read, SDs tend to be more flighty by nature where as mainlands are more relaxed. Vital Exotics ones are 37% SD and 31% dwarf. Are SD retics something you can take outside in the yard and laid back like boas? Oh and i'm also looking for something that is manageable for one person which is the reason I'm looking at SDs.

i've read that SD's are flighty as well. Yodawagon here on the forum has a 100% SD and says his is really chill.

i wanna get a 100% SD. Brian from Breaking Balls in Tacoma has a breeding pair but won't breed them b/c he believes there's not enough demand locally (and i don't think he's on the list of pre-Lacy act shippers). if u are down for a 100% Kalatoa SD, we can get like another 10 peeps committed to buy up his clutch. 100% Kalatoa's say between 5-7 feet. if u wanna get a cool morph, high % SD and other high % Dwarf blood will keep them smaller but it's really a guessing game as to when they will max.

The more % mainland the better attitude they typically have but of course the bigger they get. I have a 50% f2 tiger female that is from Travis Kubes. She never exceeded 8 ft despite being on rabbits and just turned 4 back in March. Her attitude is slightly spastic but for the most part I can take her outside without too much fear. On the flipside my Anery male pure SD who was the size of a corn snake, he was basically a colubrid in attitude and wanted to bolt anytime he got the chance. This is partially due to the fact most SD stuff that is pure came from wild caught parents right now (although we may be getting deeper into captive generations by now).

I was on a waiting list for a pair of Russo Hogg Island, the dude was very nice at first but after months of waiting for the clutch to feed, after the last update I sent to him (7 months after paying in full) he basically was annoyed and suggested canceling my order. . . Nick Mutton however, I have done a fair bit of business with and have always been absolutely pleased. Just as a side note.
