After reading the thread on another forum, I came on here to ask those of you that qualify as experts with Retics and perhaps other large pythons/boids. Im not asking you to either demonize, nor sanctify the snakes you are keeping or have kept, just want your honest opinion. On the "other" forum mention was made of Tiger/Supertiger Retics as being the most "placid" and "gentle" giant snake of those that are available, even burms. This flies directly in the face of what I have seen with a FEW adult c/b male Retics...Tigers,Yellowheads( Territorial and feeding response from hades also) So..I ask you all, these two questions.



#1) Out of all of the giant snakes you have owned, WHICH one type has been the most consistantly gentle and responsive?



#2) Are Tigers/Supertigers from established well known bloodlines really that much more tame and calm than , say Yellowhead that are c/b or silvers that are c/b or albino lavenders that are captive bred, or Jampeas?



I tend to like SILVERS..a lot. There was one on here years ago, I forgot its name (Hagrid?), but it was posted on here quite often, the girl that had it kept it and it got large. LOVED the way that thing looked.



Thanks for your input. Realize that this isnt the most high level Retic question and wreaks of novice, but when it comes to Retics I am just that, so please help and answer it.



Thanks in advance
