This video was a good reality check for me I have been thinking about getting a pet snake and have a few in mind but a super dwarf might just be too much compared to the other more manageable and small snakes in mind, if only they were a little smaller.
I love watching you work with the snakes!! I feel like so many people are so forceful and manhandle them, but it’s clear you are amazing at understanding their body language and communicating with them!!
Reticulated pythons and king cobras are the most incredible snakes in the world in my experience interacting with them. They are incredibly intelligent, and are just gorgeous looking. A non colour morph retic rivals fancy colour morphs of other snakes in my opinion, and if you're able to find a reputable breeder with true 100% SD retics, you can end up with a wonderful companion that will be manageable for one person. Whether you have a few snakes, or a bunch, no true collection is complete without one of these amazing animals. It's a truly unique experience. PS: I just recently found your channel, and you're awesome. I don't know why, but most UA-camrs whether gamers, or any other type, really annoy me. Just subbed by the way. It's too bad the US & Canada is complicated for shipping of live animals and incredibly expensive.
Probably for the same reason that I wanna be able to keep a king cobra. It's the danger factor. Now the caveat is that I KNOW kings amd constrictors that big are dangerous, and it's because of that danger factor that I don't have one. Of we just look at the king cobra, it has probably one of the COOLEST defense mechanisms of any snake I've ever seen... AND THAT HEAD! I could go ON AMD ON about how amazing king cobras are, however, I also understand that these amazing animals need to be kept either in the wild, or by keepers with a LOT of venom keeping experience (see Tyler Nolan, Chandlers wild life, and NERD, for examples). It's certainly a lot less risky for me to keep a mainland retic vs a king cobra, however there is still a big risk, especially when mainland retics are the only real documented case of a snake eating a person. Not that that's a deterrent for me personally, but that's just cause I'm ACTUALLY insane 🤪 I think I'll just continue to live vicariously through cobra keepers online and through a FALSE water cobra for myself (to anyone actually considering if the king cobra is the right snake for you, STOP. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOUR READY TO DEAL WITH A KING COBRA AND THAT TIME ISNT NOW!!!)
That was great to see the length and weight of the snake. It's not the length that is hard for me but the weight, so to see that I could handle one of the Super dwarfs gives me hope that one day I maybe able to own one. YEAH!!! GOD BLESS and thanks for that one.👍😃
Thank you for the awesome content as always. I just caught up on your videos after our conversation earlier yesterday and I'm glad you're recovering, you look great Garrett! Everyone at ROR keep up the great work.
Hey man, nice vid! Definitely into SDRs now. Quick question: I saw that when you approached the snakes you did a kind of "press down" motion on the head? Is that like to "de-escalate" their mood? Also, does it work on other snake species?
@@ReachOutReptiles That is about what a grown woman weights...who is not skinny nor that fat... 68,4 kilograms. But I have no idea how long these snakes are... I think and measure everything in meters.
@@gubjorggisladottir3525 me too! I just take it x30. 10ft is roughly 3m (okay more like 2,50 but near enough) and 1inch is about 2,5cm or more easy to calculate 3cm. Always helps me to have a bit of an idea about the length :)
Gawd they're all so beautiful. It's nice to see how big they can get. You can really tell they're well cared for and I swear they're totally fed rainbows! haha
This has been a long time coming. Unfortunately, there's no way to show the disparity in size between the RoR SD/D Weetics versus others. Which takes the quality of these babies to a whole other level.
At this point I don't know how many times I've watched this video in the last two years. Here's hoping it's only another two before I can ask about buying one of these beauties.
I had a question. I watched your copper in the water video and have started doing it as well. I change all the water daily, but how often should i change out the copper piece? I scrub it every time i change the water but when do i replace it? Thanks in advance.
@@ReachOutReptiles thanks so much, i kinda thought that but wanted to make sure. Maybe i'll catch you at the next SCRE, i would have said hi but you were with a customer
I don’t think any reputable SD breeder would ever sell any and guarantee they will stay under 6’. If you need a long, slender, active pet under 6’- you are more in Colubrid territory. Remember, a SD Retic under 6’ is a smaller animal than an adult ball python in most cases.
I appreciate this video, more now than the first 4 times I watched it. I want my next snake to be a super dwarf female, and from the info, I’m looking at Kalatoa. I live in Verona, PA and I would love to see a full grown adult female.
@@ReachOutReptiles i was waiting for someone to get super phantom and Cow morphs into dwarves well done!!! I seen you did that!! Incredible! Now we just need some super motley combos!
If the powerfed one is not recommended, why'd you do it and why don't you recommend it? Also how do you tell when you catch one in the wild if it's dwarf, super dwarf or going to grow to a normal size?
I know they have a couple of animals that have been power fed and pushed to their limits. All of them that I know of were produced/raised to adulthood before they were acquired by Reach Out Reptiles. And the dwarf/super dwarf animals are a result of populations under pressure from natural selection for a long time. They can tell by where they were originally collected from in the wild.
Wow ! What a difference between the two kinds. I wanted to get a regular retic but now that's out of the question for handling. 32 pounds vs 152 pounds ? 14' vs 19' ? Mmmm ? Thanks for this video.
So we definitely could have been clearer with the video but the large girl is an adult mainland and the rest of the snakes are adult super dwarves/dwarves
At the moment I'm watching this video, I have yet to get my first snake (which I hope is a Rosy Boa). Once I am much more experienced, my hope is to get a Goldenchild SD Retic from you! We'll see how long that is and if it ever happens, and if I can remember to come back and update this comment. lol
Online says that Dwarf Pythons grows up to most of the time of being 6 - 8 ft. long only if the Dwarf Blood is Dominating in their blood stream & their length is less likely to reach 10 feet long . 19 foot 8 inches to rarely grows out to be those that are not Dwarf type . But 32 feet long is the longest on Record that is not a Dwarf type . Allegedly a 42 ft. 8 inches long skeleton was found that is not Dwarf - Type . I don't know anything about them or of any other snake species . This info. I've sent in this comment are all from online .
The only adult Jampeas I have are old, WC animals that are about the size of the smallest snakes on here. You can see them in our Jampea Locality Spotlight video- it’s all about them.
How much does one of these cost roughly? I am looking to get a larger snake. Have a few ball pythons would love to get a big boy. Does anyone know if morphmarket is a legitimate website? Trustworthy people on there?
So realistically what's the smallest I could get one? I love the look of these more than a ball python but don't think I could handle one bigger as big as these are
This one specifically descended from the original group of animals that were collected from the islands around Kalatoa. Rather than take a guess at which was which, they were mixed, and simply labeled “Superdwarf”.
Imagine if that "mainland" had been fed a mouse every 2 weeks from a hatchling and it was on a maintenance diet its whole life, its size would be very comparable to the previous snakes shown in this video. To the uninformed this often results in the "mainland" being misidentified for being d or sd simply because of its small size, which was almost entirely dependent on what they were fed. Just like the female platty, it would be interesting to know what all of the snakes previous feedings consisted of before the making of this video.
Several of these adults are Wildcaught- so what we recommend is feeding a prime nutrition diet to maintain that healthy body type- notice the abnormally large Kalatoa female we mentioned was powered her whole life, not at all ideal. We believe in allowing the genetics of the animal to determine its size while offering the best possible care we are capable of. Artificially manipulating sizes with feed schedules is at best an unhealthy mindset (changing the animal to suit your needs, rather than getting the right animal for yourself in the first place), and at worst inhumane. ...the memory of carnival alligators sold under the guise they only grow to the size of their enclosure comes to mind...
I 100% agree with you that simply because you can get a stunted animal, you should NOT think that it is in some way a new type of Dwraf Reticulated Python.
actually there is a predictable size based on the specific percentage of certain bloodlines and localities. This video was made to show the length to weight ratio of superdwarves as compared to a mainland retic (the very last animal)
Just come across this channel then I realised…….😮😮This is the man who does business with “SP” 😮😮😮😮….What a shame , this guy knows his shit and has a great facility……Can’t sub to that what a shame 😮😮
@@wild_world_tv oohhhh was it ?? I hope it was as I’ve just gotten my first Retic and I’ve been looking for something who knew his stuff and also loved and cared for their animals and so I typed his name hoping to get more info videos and the “SP” situation which literally had me in tears and I’m not being over dramatic, to see that WOW, so obviously I don’t want to waste my time on anyone who condones and supports that……Thank you for your insight I’ll deffo do more research before believing UA-cam peeps xx🐍🐶

yeah not a snake for pussies for sure

I have a 7 month old super dwarf female and she is the sweetest and most intelligent animal I’ve ever had

Hey thanks for being here!
Sometimes I really don’t understand why people went for the mainlands instead of these, they’re so much more reasonable to keep as pets
Probably because mainlands were found first.
Probably for the same reason that I wanna be able to keep a king cobra. It's the danger factor. Now the caveat is that I KNOW kings amd constrictors that big are dangerous, and it's because of that danger factor that I don't have one.

cuz oooo big
Some people just are walking around with a huge set of balls. These dudes are crazy, I totally agree with you though.
This is unexpectedly so soothing.
You look so at one with your snake's. Like artwork. Love it. Peace Love and Respects !!
Thanks!
Such a great video Garrett! This topic can't be covered enough. I really enjoyed seeing that Selayar girl again, such an amazing animal!
Couldn't agree more!

I keep coming back to this one. Such beautiful animals.
Someday I would love to get a super dwarf male but I ain’t got the space yet. Great video though.
Maybe one day!
Great video. I liked the Jazz and classical music.
Good!
Love this video, have watched several times now. Great editing and the music really pulls it all together
Glad you enjoyed it!
I know what the term "locality" is because of this channel. Keep 'em coming, Garrett. We love videos with YOU in them!!

A great way for people to see just because one is long does not mean its a giant. Great video.
That's the idea, thank you!
Love how you put the mainland in grams as well. Lol awesome

I watched Clint's reptiles say reach out reptiles is the king of dwarf retics and the second video I clicked is you haha
nice music and production quality
That was beautiful and mesmerizing to watch. Great information.
Thanks!
Gawd they're all so beautiful. It's nice to see how big they can get. You can really tell they're well cared for and I swear they're totally fed rainbows! haha
Crazy to think some these retics are smaller than my BI boa. I know what I’m getting next! Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for watching!
What a fantastic video
This has been a long time coming.
Unfortunately, there's no way to show the disparity in size between the RoR SD/D Weetics versus others.
Which takes the quality of these babies to a whole other level.
This was beautiful
Cool video, Garret!
Glad you enjoyed it
love your snakes
Exactly the video I’ve been wanting to see🤙
Glad to be able to do it for you! Be sure to catch "How Big Does a Super Dwarf Get?" also!
man these are so beautiful
At this point I don't know how many times I've watched this video in the last two years. Here's hoping it's only another two before I can ask about buying one of these beauties.
I love to see how lean and healthy your snakes are!!
Thank you!

Thank you!
Editing just like brianbarcyzk but.. in Retics Edition HYPE!!
Seems extremely variable. My luck I spend big bucks trying to stay under 6' and end up with something closer to 12'
I don’t think any reputable SD breeder would ever sell any and guarantee they will stay under 6’. If you need a long, slender, active pet under 6’- you are more in Colubrid territory. Remember, a SD Retic under 6’ is a smaller animal than an adult ball python in most cases.
Love that you put metric as well! Thank you! But... The abbreviation for grams is "g", not "gms". ;)

And the dwarf/super dwarf animals are a result of populations under pressure from natural selection for a long time. They can tell by where they were originally collected from in the wild.
Powerfeeding is a great way to make them obese, so it's about as recommendable as it is with humans.

do it!
That snake at the end is 150lbs and looks healthy, definitely well fed, but healthy. That is so much snake.
we agree.
Nice 👌
Awesome!

@@ReachOutReptiles even though jampea is considered similar in size to selayer? The WC ones just have small genetics then huh?
@@ReachOutReptiles and thanks for getting back to me I know your busy so I really appreciate it.
As you gave the weight in metric and imperial, the same for length would have been nice :) good video though
Next time!
How much does one of these cost roughly? I am looking to get a larger snake. Have a few ball pythons would love to get a big boy. Does anyone know if morphmarket is a legitimate website? Trustworthy people on there?
Question is it gene that makes em small
I want one that maxes out at 6 feet
Are there wild type dwarf reticulated pythons, with the yellows?
I mean super dwarf.. that stays small
A breeder at an expo told me it’s illegal to import wild Retics
So realistically what's the smallest I could get one? I love the look of these more than a ball python but don't think I could handle one bigger as big as these are
7-9 feet is probably the smallest you'll get with a male. Depends on the locality also
I have a female Colombian boa, but after watching this video. I definitely want to get a female dwarf retic
Cool
If they were legal here I'm pretty sure I'd have one, so my bredl's python will have to do.
yeah holy shit those are huge. the biggest id get is something no bigger than a white lipped python or an indigo
I thought the largest Reticulated at 18 feet had amongst the best patterns and colouration.
Platinum morph. Not pure locality. ;)
So when you say "not recommend" what exactly do you mean. Is it because that snake is female? Is it the breed itself?
Alright you convinced me, theyre not too big 😬
Fun
Always cool playing with the big ‘uns outdoors!
if yoy dont know the locality, how do you know it is a pure super dwarf?
