- RETICULATED PYTHONS IN THE WILD! (are we keeping them correctly?) -Adventures in THAILAND (2020)
Reticulated pythons are becoming more and more popular but how are they living in the wild? In the first of a seven part series from Thailand, I go deep into their native habitat to answer that question.

“Are we keeping them right” is my favorite series on UA-cam.
Glad to hear that. There's many more coming up!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures nice
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures just here in 2024 to say that this is also my favorite series on UA-cam. I've been binging all of them.
This is what separates you from anyone else in the hobby! Going to these natural habitats and proving the industry standards wrong! Keep it up!!!
You need to Check out DM Exotics videos as well then.
Thanks! I will
Yes. Wayyyy to few subscribers. Love what youre doing, Dav.
Long and slim is how the are suppose to look. Not obese like 90% of the reptile community keeps them.
Sploofy Gaming it was only a baby tho
@@KILLAZ0128 yeah of course. But you get my point i hope. A big one in the wild are also quite slim.
@Jennifer i know? I pointed out that 90% were obese in the COMMUNITY. Duh.
Same goes for monitors
Jennifer they’re not arguing that he didn’t say that
This is why i will never own a snake of that size. I don’t have the space and i accept it. I have 2 9 year old ball pythons that are just at 1300grams and extremely healthy. Screw power feeding, keep them healthy! I want them to live long not breed and eat to death
Also, if you have a proper sized enclosure for a retic rather than this patheric "industry standard" that will help reduce obesity as it'll allow them to move around, thus burning off excess fat to a much greater degree.
Yeah I think the biggest I'd go for is a Boa Constrictor Imperator
Lol i want to breed and eat myself to death 🤣🤣
As you were publishing this video, I just finished making a large arboreal enclosure for my super dwarf retic (having some huge floor surface as well as height). A very complex system of branches (up to 8-10 branches at the top). My animal has been loving it so far! Perching like a green tree python, using every inch of its enclosure. Can't even begin to tell how active it has become. I hope, that together with Garret you'll change the view on how these guys should be kept. Fantastic video, keep it up!
That's how it's done, giving your animal the freedom to exhibit natural behaviour. You'll get 10x more enjoyment out of your pet just knowing you are providing it with the correct environment.
@@MegaTerryNutkins not what I was asking. I was wondering if he had a template design to base it off of. Creating a giant arboreal cage for a very large snake is far different than creating one for a small snake. But I understand how you interpreted it. It's very hard to find DIY cages for a massive cage rather than a standard 6'x2'
@@mhb9957 I was replying to mefasm.
Your best bet might be to go and look at display enclosures in zoos. For big retics a lot of people build wooden enclosures and use marine epoxy to coat them, pond liner on the base might be beneficial to extend the life of the enclosure with all the urine and knocked over water bowls you will inevitably get.
@@MegaTerryNutkins got it thank you for the input.
I’m sure having all that space to move around will help your snake maintain muscle tone. So happy for you and your danger noodle!
The size classes I field collected in Perak, Malaysia were all around 2 meters. All jumped straight into the water like these. I agree that they are highly arboreal. Thank you for this Dav. It is well known of my concerns and issues on keeping giant snakes in slide in boxes or vision cages...Thank you for your eloquent portrayal of the truth. All my best my friend
Miss you Mr. Tom...
U need 2 surface every so often n chat on vlogs here n there!!
Much Love n Respect Sir!! 🙏💖🐍🦎🤘🐢
Malaysia is the home of many of this species. If you're lucky enough, you'll encounter with the biggest one. Just wait for dry season.
Building a 15'x6.5x5 retic enclosure with a recessed water feature. Great video!
What?
That's amazing
Is it built?
That's tiny in the wild move too florida and build him an Enclosure not a cage LOL
@@randykoch1807 She spends about 95% of her time in her hide, even though she has all of this extra space compared to 99% of other enclosures.
So glad you touched on husbandry and cage sizing. I owned about 21 snakes at one point. Mostly colubrids, never was into Pythons or boids much. Eventually the guilt of keeping them in stackable enclosures they could never have a realistic home territory in got to me. I passed them all on to other reputable keepers I know and now just focus on snakes in the wild. I’m sorry, but an animal that has a home range of a square mile or more (or even much less than that) shouldn’t be kept in a 2’ x 2’ cage. It’s just not for me.
I agree. I love boas, but rather than getting a Bcc (my favorite), I got a Tarahumara mountain boa. Males tops out at around 4'. I can provide sufficient space for a snake that size. You can virtually not do that to something like a Burmese python, which has an average home range of 22.5 square kilometers. I haven't found any study on retics, but I assume they don't move less. The general idea of boas and pythons as ambush foragers is also challenged today. They aren't just sit and wait predators, but actively hunt and seek out their prey. Boas go into caves to take bats when they sleep, for example. A snake that takes a monkey up in the trees doesn't do that by dumb luck. They pick a spot where they know the monkeys will pass.
Thanks for bringing up the normal wild vs captive size of snakes, not just retics. I've "slow grown" mine, especially my boa. She's 4yrs old 6ft long, got that healthy square shape but not huge fat n odd looking. Great informative vid man.
Awesome!
Agree. All I was thinking about because I disagree with the feeding regime the top guys do. I can not believe retics eat that often in the wild
@@Retics i know Im late to the party but wanted to add: retics in the wild aren’t taking down baby pigs or lambs. They are eating a bunch of smaller meals or the occasional big one and then chilling for a long time. I have a suspicion ball pythons are notoriously sedentary because we feed them too much as well. They never go ‘hunting’. Snakes don’t explore for entertainment, they explore for food.
That wild type pattern is my favorite by far. Beautiful
Great Vid- I love Thailand. The first Reticulated Python I ever saw lived in what used to be two separate bedrooms, used to be, he made it one big room for his snake. I will never forget looking up at the window and watching this neverending snake hanging in the branches in his own room. After a few days I worked up enough nerve to knock! Lol His snake was almost 20 feet and took four men to wrangle it when necessary!
Awesome!
Your videos are so helpful to the reptile community! I think some of us with myself included have taken the care of our reptiles and made it convenient for us not the reptiles. I am slowly but surely trying to upgrade all of my reptiles to more naturalistic and enrichment full environments so they can live the best lives possible in my care.
Awesome to hear that!
"Im always careful, even when I'm not." that sentence explains my life.
Dad, My Family has a farm in Rayong Province in the Gulf of Thailand. I go out into the farm at night to take temperatures. Regularly at 4-5 AM in the morning as the fog/mist is present, I see temperatures of 65 F. During the day when the temperatures at 85-90 F the retics become dormant and sleep up in the trees or in cooler areas around the base of the trees. I talk to my Thai family members and other locals, they confirm my observations and state that the retics are most active in the low to mid 70 degree range.
Yes all true stuff!! Even when I've visited some zoos I see wrong setups and obese snakes. Even saw a retic in a desert style setup once...blew my mind
Yikes! Someone didn't do their research
If I ever get something like a retic I’m only doing it when I can give it an entire room in my house for it with trees and a huge water feature as long as one of the walls
Presenting it as you did gives you my respect! The industry standards are such an injustice for these poor obese snakes :(
Maybe Ball pythons will be next ;)?
Thanks!
These are so much more arboreal than I could conceive from the way I’ve seen them kept in captivity...I’ve always seen them in lengthwise enclosures. Thanks for your series once again Dāv!
14:15 Snake: "Hey...can you stop gesticulating with me in your hands. I'm getting nauseous man."
Great advice about enclosure size. If people don't/won't provide a proper sized enclosure they should think about getting something different.
When I got back to the studio and watched the footage I thought the exact same thing haha
If possible I think a “ball pythons in the wild” episode would be awesome
As someone moving into keeping larger species, this was really enlightening. I was considering getting a Retic in the near future but this made me change my mind and push that back. I want one but I would rather wait till I can afford to give one a proper and large enclosure.
The Brazilian Rainbow Boa episode (I commented on that prior getting one) really helped define the husbandry I have for mine. I really appreciate this series, & hope informative it is. I can't wait to see what else you have coming up in the Thailand series!!
I'd be interested in seeing other large common constrictors like Burms in the AWKTC? series!!
This video confirms stuff I have noticed raising my little ones. Love seeing this Dav. I’m glad you’re preparing for the backlash
Glad to hear that
I fall in love more and more i watch this guy, keep challenging the sub par standard conditions people accept, well done you massive respect
When it comes to temp and humidity also consider season, and wind conditions as those will have a great affect as well.
Brilliant video! I absolutely think we are aren't proving enough climbing experience for our captive reptiles. Especially the biggers ones. We seem content to assume once they get a certain size they wouldn't climb any more and we know this isn't the case. I am glad you addressed that!
Exactly! Thanks for the comment!
#1 reptile show!
here in belgium we need to have permits for big snakes and certain types but it is with an obligation to make a big cage with enough space to roam and climb enrich themselves. and they check it too
Happy to see you being more to the point in these videos, sometimes people need it. Im hoping to see your Regius Python video, I have some excellent studies showing that males especially eat 70% avian prey as well, would love to see that being touched on.
Though if I made a personal request, short tail pythons!
I love Dan and Apple, was excited to know you were going herping with them. Been following their videos with you. Glad to yours coming to. You have to go with them to Papua and do Green Trees and Carpets. Please.
Same best cameo I've ever seen lol
They are both great people and I had a blast with them on this trip!
And crocodile monitors!
Awesome that you addressed the size problem! Best probably is getting a SD especially if you're handling them on your own. If illegal in your state a good option is a crawl cay boa, some have quite similar patterns and look to them ;-)
Good call!
Hey as a new Sub & a large Retic owner his name was "Pennywise", he passed years ago. Your enclosure info is a "requirement " for a HAPPY Retic. My favorite species of snake & they are the oldest known snake. Cool.💪👍
You were like a child. Loved it
big time!
Two years ago I was working on a farm in Malaysia. So many snakes! We had an on going battle with a 15ft retic that kept getting in and eating the chickens. I also almost trod on a much smaller one on my way up to bed in the barn attic, don't think I've jumped so high in my life! She was surprisingly laid back and I managed to hold and admire her for a good 5 minutes before she decided she had had enough. It was a magical time, can't wait to go back this year :)
Wow, this is the first video I've watched of yours in this kind of series, and I have to say, it's truly amazing how in depth you go into the specifics of this animal in the wild. I was blown away that you went and took humidity and temperature ranges for at night and during the day. You have an extensive knowledge and I'm so glad to have found your videos. Your passion shows so clearly and I'm glad you are able to do the work you obviously love.
Damn these wild colours are so beautiful... Thank you for showing these gorgeause animals in their natural habitat
Thank you so much for uploading this!!
Huge fan & love what you do!
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Dāv Kaufman's Reptile Adventures hey Dāv, I was wondering if you could do one on Tegu’s? I personally would love that & I think it can help benefit people who keep these incredibly intelligent animals!
Hope you see this🤞
"It's okay, retics don't eat Apples."
I laughed a bit too hard at that. 😂
@@aurorasurrealis1032🤣🤣🤣
Hi Dãv, in the proces of building a new herp room with retics. Love your series on "are we keeping them correctly?"
You are the first and only youtuber with good info and measurements on temp and humidity. And.. the very first on the comment that a natural humidity is not comparable to the cage because of the lack of refreshing wind.
Maybe you can do something on what i haven't been able to find on youtube untill now (1 exeption) . That is herp room setup focus on practical and technical stuff. How do you heat your room? Ambient temp vs hotspot in rooms. Ventilation, insulation, cage building, heating and cooling options etc etc.
👍🏼 would be nice addition to your herp room visits
Great call! I'll for sure look into that!
Awesome video! Thailand is beautiful, and I love Dan and Apple from DM Exotics. I’ve had a great time learning as I go with my retic. I was hesitant at first because of the size and reputation, but I am so glad I got him. He is so smart and an absolute blast to interact with. Hook training is a must! They are much different snakes than ball pythons or burms. I am a little put off by some of the tactics I see breeders using to sell these snakes to uneducated people who just want to look cool with a big snake. I hope we as reptile enthusiast can keep the situation in check because I definitely don’t want to see any regulations or bans come back.
Amazing looking retics and great info as usual. Thanks!
I just love retics!
“i’m always careful even though i’m not” i felt that
I love how you touch on the power feeding issue I feed my retics in that way in their growing really nice and steadily I'm not shooting for any records with mine I want healthy snakes for a long life
idk that ive ever seen a healthy retic in captivity then, nor have I ever seen one in an arboreal setup. It's unfortunate but hopefully people can learn from your vid and improve.
Awesome content, thanks for sharing!
This was amazing Dāv! Has one of these been done for Royals?
Working on that now
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Nice! Just so you know, if you debunk anything major about BP husbandry, you can hide out at my place for a few years. Lol
Of all herpers, there are few so resistant to change as many of my fellow BP keepers. I feel like that's part of the reason Brian Barczyk cancelled the husbandry panel he was going to host.
Dāv Kaufman's Reptile Adventures Yeah, I have a feeling that could really shake things up! But I’ve been seeing a lot of articles recently about improving the base standards of husbandry...it’s like there’s a shift coming, exciting times!
I love how this acknowledges reptiles in captivity as well as their wild counterparts.
No better way to teach reptile keepers on the best husbandry than to show them the wild environments
You've given SO MUCH knowledge on replicating wild conditions that, ultimately we as keepers would struggle to ever find out ourselves. Such an asset to the exotic animal industry and such a hero. Mr Kaufman we appreciate you!
Thank you!
As someone who is still doing research before keeping their first reptile this series provides an invaluable perspective. I feel like in the hobby we can be too accommodating and maybe sensitive to what we feel the animal needs. This shows the margin for error in care is not as thin as we think.
I only feed when the lights are off to stop feed response. It has worked well. I can’t recall a time I’ve been bit by one of my relics. I also raise all my relics from the time they hatch. 20 years I’ve kept snakes, and I’ve only had one close call with a full grown anaconda that I didn’t raise. It took four people to uncoil him. As far as your advice on enclosure set up, you described my snakes room to a T. Excellent video thanks for producing it!
my neighborhood in the philippines used to be in between a river with retics and the local Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources.
some of these chunky boys would slither to neighborhoods and eat pets cats or strays and the snake gets taken away by the DENR to be relocated.
this video reminded me of those good times
This was awesome! I’ve tried to use these principles also in keeping my geckos. No power feeding or over feeding. I try to keep them at a healthy weight but I don’t push them just so they breed faster. Well done Dāv! And you can’t go wrong with Dan and Apple!
This is great information. Thank you. You really love and respect these creatures, and you can definitely help others to as well.
Love you and your efforts!
❤️🐍❤️
YES FINALLY SOMEONE WITH A PLATFORM WHO SAYS IT!
I 100% agree! They are kept way too small... I don't wanna keep my uge snake in a tiny cage where he or she can't swim or climb. The size is the only reason I can't keep a retic. I want one really bad but only if I can give them a full room basically. Maybe one day. ❤️
ABSOLUTELY LOOVVVEEE this video!!! This gives me soooo much hope for the new ball python movie/documentary
THANK YOU. For being real, professionally honest, and informative. Too many people get pets and give them the 'good enough' care or just don't do any research at all. You've gained a lot of respect from me. You've gained a new follower today.
Thanks Rachel!
Lovely footage from Thailand, a really beautiful place and a real mecca for snake (and tropical fruit) enthusiasts! I remember a local man glazing off half of his 26' lounge in order to create enough space for his python. I love to see snakes in the wild, fortunately the modern tech allows for ease of filming and the quality of footage is so much better these days. Thanks Dav enjoy the rest of your trip. P.S. Any snakes of note in South Korea?
great collab , Dan n Apple awesome
I agree!
Seriously how do you not have a million subscribers? You are the ONLY one doing videos like this and everyone else is just showing what they have in their collections/personal zoos/whatever. That gets boring and old really fast. Doesn't seem fair that you are actually going out there and making videos like this and getting half the exposure they do. I'll keep watching every week tho. Rattle on!
I don't do what I do to get more subscribers. I do what I do for the fans I have. The channel will grow in time. Rattle On!
CORRECTION - Although the ecosystem AT Khao Sok National Park may be one of the oldest in the world, it is not 160 million years old... yes, the sedimentary rocks in the area are very very old, but the flora and fauna that lived here during the time of the dinosaurs was wiped out during the global catastrophic event known as the K/T extinction event.... the area known Khao Sok National Park has been subjected to the same global changes in climate as anywhere else in the world, having been through many many changes in sea level to create what is now seen in Southern Thailand and South East Asia...
I have quite a few snakes from Dan and Apple...love those guys...one of my most favorite things about your videos is how you hit at the heart of how improperly American's especially keep and FEED their animals....just awesome Dav...had a quick meet with you at Pomona when we got snakes from Dan but sure hope to meet up with you again in the future...keep on keeping on Dav....just awesome!!!
I remember, and thanks. I really appreciate that!
So glad I found this channel. Appreciate the truth being spoken!
I had a super dwarf retic full size which was the equivalent to what you were holding. The absolute best snake I've ever had in my life. They are incredibly intelligent along with king cobras as far as snakes are concerned. I used to do reptile rescue, so I housed tons of snakes, and the retic was just something special I couldn't describe with words. Sadly I had to part with her in fear of local bylaws coming to confiscate her. I found her a good home with someone who lives in the country, where that snake is allowed. We are allowed to keep boas and pythons up to 6 feet. My retic was only 5 feet, but because scientifically it's still considered a Malayopython Reticulatus it's a banned species. Smh. Nice video by the way. I was bored at 4 am and decided to randomly look up retics, and you came up. Brought back memories, even though I never went to Thailand.
So I'm hearing that baby wild snakes were just all traumatized from being constantly insecure, and now they all have chronic PTSD-flavored anxiety about exposure in adulthood. Same, noodle fam. Same.
Awesome video, great info!!!!!
Thank you sir🤙🏼
Yesterday was my birthday! So for my gift to myself, I got a lavender albino retic baby! I'm so excited that I can't even sleep! So I'm watching your video on them again instead 😁🤘
Three years on, how is your retic? 😊😊
Love all your vids Dave. We all accept you as the voice of reptiles.
Please do a meet and greet with your Thai subscribers! I adore your videos and your care for the proper husbandry and wellbeing of the animals.
Would love to see one of these videos on Ball pythons. So much contradicting information online, I’d like to see you observe them in the wild someday!
Planning that trip now
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Wow. You’re really out here doing God’s work. 😂❤️ Can’t wait to see it!
I don’t keep the species anymore, but still always been a fan of them. Had to leave most groups on social media of retic keepers because it turns my stomach seeing how fat they are kept. One of the subjects I think I beat into people the most is how much we overfeed in this hobby. We use these snakes instincts against them and to their detriment. Glad you made this!
Great video!!! Thanks
I love to watch DM exotics got to town all over the place btw , your definitely in good company, they make great videos for sure , and I’d just love to get to Thailand’s Jungle area and places where there is tons of species , you can fill a camera card with literally a different snake species every day
I filled 5 cards on this trip :)
Dāv Kaufman's Reptile Adventures hahaha I bet man , what an amazing place for specimen of all types
Man how awesome is it to get to see retics in the wild like that....one of these days!
Cannot stress how important and great these videos are Dav - you’ll never really know how much you’re improving animal welfare and making people think 👍
Dav is 100% correct. The retics being held in captivity are generally obese. Some are morbidly obese and sick. They get no exercise and their owners feed them too much so that they get super long and fat. This is really a form of cruelty. Thanks, Dav for the TRUTH and a great video.
Reticulated pythons are my favorite snakes because I love and like their patterns on the them they been my favorite snakes for a long time
I was looking forward to this for this
Excellent information.
One of them times where I wish I could like a video multiple times, much respect from Ireland,
Thanks!
Dav a lot of the info you shared is valuable for many species. Great Vid
That is very true!
People make lots of mistakes in snakeland (and other animals). Mostly thinking about money and themselves in stead of te snake itself. I really liked your comments on this. This has to be said more and by more people, hoping the egoistic people starting to think what they are really doïng with the snakes and the hobby / our passion in general. Thumbs up for you!
Can't beat the beauty of a wildtype retic! My super dwarf is wild type and I think he's just amazing. Currently working with him on handling as he's already a year old and wasn't handled much. Snake hook has helped a bunch lol thankfully he isn't very defensive just wants to get away. He's currently in shed so I've given him the week off since he's been hiding in his hide lol thank you for doing these videos!
Keeping them properly? Yeah right. Hobby standards won't allow for that. In order to keep them properly they would need a room sized enclosure with plenty of trees to perch in as well as a body of water to swim in. And 8x4 foot jail cell with a cat litter pan to drink out of is the trade off.
And awesome to see that you got Dan and Apple into this video. 2 of the most true hobbyists that we have.
Glad he didn't step on the 2nd retic. Awesome snakes!! Thanks for the footage.
Very well said regarding enclosure size. Great video Dav!🐍
Thanks Lance!
I see people over feed a lot in captivity not just reptiles just because food helps us heal and we eat 2 (some people more) times a day we need to realise how they are ment to look to live long healthy lives. Love what you do keep it up dav 😊
I already decided to give my Golden Child Kaloatoa Super Dwarf a little slice of rain forest! When we renovate our downstairs bathroom, I'm taking the old prefab plastic shower and turning it into an awesome glass enclosure, complete with a filtered rain shower head, a pool with drain for easy cleaning, and mercury vapour metal halide lighting from my old reef tank. It'll have branches and vines and should look just like a mangrove swamp. I'll share it with you when it's done.
Amazing Dāv. Keep up the great work
I don’t have any nor do I have any tips but it was pretty cool to see you become a retic wrangler. How awesome is that? Floating down a river wrangling retic. Good for you, Dav. 🤘🤘
agree 100% about larger enclosures especially for people who aren't breeding and maintaining a bunch of snakes.
Great advice Dav !!! Tell it like it is !!! Think & plan ahead like Dav said....so your Retic has a good and healthy life otherwise don`t get one and just enjoy others.
What an Amazing life you live Dave. Keep on Rattling Sir.
I do not keep retics but have always liked them, this info you are sharing is just priceless!!! You really are one of the best out there when it comes to herpticulture. Thanks for everything
Love that you advocated for better husbandry!
What you said about the enclosures and water source. I agree with you 1000%. I hate seeing any animal in tubs . They are worth more to me and in general than that. I give my cresteds and leopards and leachies in the biggest enclosure I can get. They deserve it.
Im a fan now for sure and Im a ball buster!....and hey Tom Crutchfield...Your the man bro...learned a lot from you also....
I like this dudes videos.
Wassup mate. Keep it up
I love this series, I know that it cost a lot travelling everywhere, but thank you so much for doing this for us keeping reptiles, I am all about keeping them as close to how they're living in the wild!
Clicked as soon as the notification came up lol
Nice!
Amazing video! It was really cool to see them in their natural habitat and hopefully people take this into consideration when owning a retic
Its so fun to se you herping in countries Ive been 🙂 im binging your videos 👍 it seems that you, jeff, emily and ed have a great friendship 🙂
