NEWS TODAY (Chennai, India) 15 July 03 Malaysian pythons hatched in Chennai
Chennai : Seven snakelets of one of the endangered species of Malaysian Pythons (Python curtus brongersmai) have been hatched through artificial incubation at the Chennai Snake Park.
The snakelets, dark in colour with white or yellow patches spread all over, is 2 feet long and would be the first in any of the snake parks in the country.
The eggs of the python, brought from Malaysia, were kept for hatching under ordinary pythons from 19 April. But once the temperature started shooting up in the city the pythons did not incubate and the park authorities had to hatch the eggs through artificial means for 80 days.
The snake which is largely seen in Peninsular Malaysia can grow up to an average length of 30 feet, and has a huge girth relative to its length. The head is long and broad and distinctively wider than the neck. The anterior half of the body appears pale with a dark pattern, while the posterior appears dark with a pale pattern.
This non-poisonous snake is also seen in North Eastern part of the country. After three and four years, the coloration of blood pythons is at its zenith. At the Snake Park here, the pythons are being fed with a diet of rats and chicken, officials said.

just kidding, of course. No, they (media) often confuse facts when writing their stories and without question they got facts on retics and weaved them in with the blood ad.

All exaggerations aside, does anybody know of fair-dinkum 22' plus retics in private hands? Do retics simply not get that big, or do they all disappear into the herpetocultural vortex?

Would love to hear about genuine big 'uns, other than the few well known zoo specimens.

Wags.

Nerd has some big ones that are over 20 feet.
