Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

[Sauzo]

Hmmm,

Well that's too bad but I see it happen a lot with breeders and keepers alike.

There are not many long time breeders in the retic world.

Depending on the locale, they get large to very large, not many keepers have them for long, long periods either.

Kris did an exceptional job with the species and I'm happy to have purchased from him.

I'm actually surprised to tell you the truth. While retics are large, they require no where near the space large monitors do. And i think Kris was breeding water monitors. They get big. I had a Nile Monitor about 30 years ago which i got as a hatchling from a local breeder. He was the most laid back lizard i have seen except when around one particular buddy of mine which he REALLY hated and took a shot at him with his tail. He was about 5 feet at the time and lucky for my buddy, he was quick. The tail put a nice dent/break in the sheet rock wall lol. I ended up having to re home him as he grew beyond my financial abilities being i was an 18 year old kid living on his own in an apartment along with a few geckos, pacman frog and a BP lol. I miss him though and still think about him. He was hands down my favorite pet especially since i got him as a little tiny hatchling who would chase crickets around the cage lol.
