Why thank you. Jamps are one of my favorite retics. Full of energy and beautiful in color. Thanks again.

Your welcome, wish I had one or two myself actually. I have had plenty of mainland retics over the years, never any type of insular reticulatus.

They are entirely different. These guys are climbers. They must be more arboreal then most other locales of retics that are common in collections. I also find them to be more active. Once out they are on the go. And I have to mention the appetite on these guys. Dear Lord they they have an appetite which causes them to have one heck of a feeding response. Even more so then my larger retics. People could mistake this for aggression, but anyone with a lick of sence would know that it is not so. My adults are hardly aggressive and anyone that has ever been to my place knows this.

Another thing I like about them and most of the other similar island retics that are considered dwarfs is their coloration. They have more green, silver, and brown in their normal coloration. Sweet looking snakes if you ask me. Here is one of the adults in her darker stage.

I do find some of the insular retics less colorful (not jamp's).

Also all of my reticulatus are or where tame except one I got in the early 80's (back when you where considered insane for having one lol).

I also love the color change thing retics do. My seemed to do it most right after they ate and also lights out ( note my Brazilian rainbow boas do the day night change but with retics it seemed more food orientated)

NICE SNAKE YOU GOT THERE!!!!
