....if my memory serves me correctly. It's been a long time since I visited those sites. But I think there was a lot of good stuff there. You want to look for current information written by experienced people that know the animal from years of interaction. Not just some book by some guy, etc.

If you want husbandry tips hit up NERD....If you want some biological information Range,Pop. Health and Various Size Data and natural diet search for a report done by Peter Harlow on the Reticulated Python and The skin trade on the island of Sumatra Really interesting stuff. Id use Yahoo or google Id give a link but I read it a while ago

you might also want to look up Dave and Tracy Barker at vpi.com. They no longer keep retics but they somewhat pioneered the retic scene in the 80's and 90's and probably have vast amounts of knowledge about them. Todd

Here's link to an article I wrote for REPTILES magazine a couple of years ago. Maybe it will be helpful.
