Retic python sizes.....????

jayskee Sep 18, 2003 03:22 PM

I need 2 know the sizes of the reticulateds. A regular retic can grow past 20 feet. I don't want a snake that big. Then you have your dwarf retics which i need to know the sizes on them. And is their another size in lenght with the super dwarf retics, but i'm not sure . I want to get a reticulated so bad i just cant house a 20 plus footer. Can somebody please help me with their lenghts and different types of retics.....Thanks ...Joe

Jampea's can get 14ft. And believe me a 14ft jampea is an impressive snake and should NOT be handled alone! Kayaudi's get about 9ft which isn't to bad at all. Super dwarfs i've heard 6ft? I have a 10ft 4inch male bali yellow head (female to come!) and i'm picking up a 13ft 6inch female tiger to breed this season. The male i will hold alone, but there are other people around in the house. He is Very calm and has never offered to bite. But to let you in on how sharp their teeth are; we was trying to grip my hand to climb pushing against it. I guess his lip came up and he slit my knuckle open which bled freely. Take a razor to your hand and that is what happend. I'd Hate to be bitten! Need anything else feel free to e-mail me at:
