Super Dwarf Reticulated Python, The Best Pet Snake?

  • Reticulated pythons are pretty much the perfect snake--except for the fact that they are gigantic, dangerous, and eat farm animals. If only there were tiny retics... Wait, what? There are super dwarf retics?! Is this the best pet snake?! Is the super dwarf reticulated python the best pet snake for you?

    Clint!! Thank you so much for the kind words! We have been working with these little guys for generations now, and I feel in some cases really taking the first steps towards a truly “domesticated” reptile. Many people who only knew them 2-3 generations ago would be VERY surprised by how they are now! On a sidenote, I have been wanting to set up a large walk-in enclosure based on Sulawesi island for a mainland Retic in the new shop. Do you know what else lives on Sulawesi? It’s green, small, and loves to jump on people… Maybe I need to put some thought into how to accomplish a multi species environment?

      It is! I've had ball pythons and juvie boas do it while I was handling them a few times. I'm very careful with going into their enclosures, so nothing ever happens there. But sometimes, you don't pay attention and it just strikes. It gets you wide eyed and shocked for a second. The only way I can describe it is like watching a nature show and a snake strikes at the camera in slow motion. It's funny that there's a strike and they just go about hanging out and exploring.

      For a sd retic it tends to vary on their size and personality. Same for retics. 6 feet long by 3 foot wide and 2 foot high is probably the minimum size. You want them to pretty much be able to stretch out the length of the cage. Some like smaller cages and some love larger cages with a shelf in their.

    I was actually looking into owning a super dwarf earlier this month. I knew that the mainland was illegal but there was nothing on the dwarf/super dwarfs. Unfortunately, when I got into contact with my states environmental conservation department, they told me “Because dwarf Burmese and Reticulated pythons are still classified as the same species as standard Burmese and Reticulated, they are classified as dangerous animals and cannot be legally possessed as pets”. A little confusing because I can still own a boa constrictor imperator and almost all the Morelia species of python (can’t own scrub pythons).

      I have 2 super dwarves from Garrett, and I think they are incredible and recommend them highly. With that said, one of the thing SOME people like about the ball python is that it is a slow moving to even stationary snakes. Retics move, A LOT, more so than even boas. This is something I could see throwing some people off about them. That's the only thing I could see requiring an adjustment period for a handler. That an like Clint said repeatedly, they love to eat. No more hunger strikes. My two cents.

    So thrilled to see Garrett Hartle on the channel. I had the pleasure of meeting Garrett in person a few times at reptile expos in Pittsburgh, and he is just as friendly, personable and informative in person as he was on your channel (and is on his own Reach Out Reptiles channel). I do not own a Super Dwarf Retic (at least not yet!), and when I first met him at an expo, I was up front about the fact that I was in no way prepared to purchase one, but was just admiring them. Despite this, Garrett not only let me hold one of his amazing snakes, but took quite a bit of time to educate me on the species and about his breeding program. I will never forget the experience. (The snake was a Black Golden Child, and I could not believe the rainbow iridescence…) I have been so pleased to see the very well-deserved growth and success he has experienced as a breeder these past few years. It is clear that he takes excellent care of his animals, and has an impressive depth of knowledge about their care and breeding.

She taught me how intelligent reticulated pythons can be and she seemed to understand the time at which my shift ended meant that I was going to take her out and handle her. I never grew attached to any other animal while working there as I understood they would all be sold eventually but her personality and intelligence had me feel like i had a connection to this snake. Due to the price point of the animal she stuck around for a few months and I was legitimately heartbroken when I walked in one morning and was told she had been purchased by the largest and most reputable retic breeder in my country.

    I’m so glad to hear you say snakes have liquid urine! It’s been driving me nuts because I’ve asked people (including BioDude) what happens with the pee in a bioactive setup and I’ve only been told “they don’t have liquid urine”. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Both my BRB and my ball python pee plenty. Anyway Athena is so beautiful!

      Unfortunately no I haven’t gotten an answer. I wish I could because I don’t like the thought of my burrowing BRB hanging out in urine-soaked substrate, and what about ammonia??
      I love the BioDude and use his stuff too, I was so disappointed he doesn’t know snakes pee liquid. I asked Mariah (I think that’s her name?) from Reptifiles too and she also said snakes don’t urinate, although she said maybe if a snake is very well hydrated it will. It’s frustrating because I have 2 snakes and they DEFINITELY produce liquid and it’s like I’m being gaslit or something. 😅
      Maybe they’ve never had snakes on paper towels at all so they just haven’t noticed the liquid, I guess? I used paper towels for quarantine and absolutely have thrown away quite a few soaking wet ones lol.

He would always sit motionless, and or shrug off the food offerings until 1 day, BOOM, he was awake, hungry, and took me by surprise. He ate 7- 4lb rabbits that day, and wasn't hungry again for 17 months.

(My dad had one earlier in his life that was 14 feet) he got to a little over 9 feet and lived until I was a young adult, and he passed away. He was awesome though, on feeding days about a dozen kids would get off the bus with me and run to my house to watch him eat. I’ve always wanted another but have never gotten one because of the risk that it could grow to an unmanageable size (ground zero common sense) I am really glad to have learned about dwarf retics.

    These seem like great snakes. I love the patterns and the really sharply defined scale coloring. It's like a hex grid was wrapped around the snake and then each was precisely hand colored to make the overall pattern. Being semi-arboreal is wonderful you might actually get to see it in it's enclosure when it wasn't being handled. It also looks like handling actually involves handling. These seem even more curious than boas and move around more as opposed to being a lap snake. That's a win in my book.

      My short list is Demerils Boa first because the enclosure temp/humidy range is easier and I can learn to keep that steady where I'll be living without worrying I'll end up with a dead snake. One of these or a Boa second since they are semi-arboreal and get to a nice size but are handleable by one person. Finally, once I've learned to read snake body language, gotten the mistakes with that out of the way, and saved up for a while, maybe an emerald tree boa because I don't think there's a better looking non-venomous snake that can still be handled if you know what you're doing and get them used to it early. That obviously wouldn't be the one being passed to somebody else to hold who wasn't knowledgeable in handling snakes.

    My retics were mainlands and the chillest snakes I'd ever worked with. Got them as babies, tap trained and handled often, plus used a very strict feeding protocol (F/T only, separate enclosure, etc) and especially my female was a complete potato. Got tagged twice when she was only a few feet long, both times were my fault, and it never happened again once I fixed my mistake. I miss them so much - they were my babies.
