Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello everyone. This is my first post on the retic forum. I have been working with reticulated pythons for over three years now, and have endured both the good and the bad. The bad included twenty five stitches in my left forearm due to lacerations received from a wild caught male, who appeared to be turning into the calico form.The good has been working with these beautiful snakes, and learning more about them, and myself, in the process. I have worked with almost all forms of retics, and settled on tigers and supers to try and sucessfully breed and hatch my first clutch of eggs. Last Saturday, my female tiger had her first clutch which consisted of twenty one eggs. I just wanted to post and share my excitement with everyone in the forum, and wish everyone success with their pythons. And, also, to especially thank three guys who helped me through thick and thin-John Spada and Brian Cantley of New Jersey, and Pat Mahan in New York. Without them, none of this would have been possible. May this be the first of many more successful breedings...

Congradulations! Thats awesome to hear. Best of luck with the eggs and soon to be babies. Arent Retics the best! Also where in NY are you from because I live in NY also and own a few Retics. Again congrats and good luck.
