Those look awesome. I know they're supposed to be fairly new right? So would anyone have any idea as to their average adult size yet? Or is it pick and choose with hybrids...i.e. one makes burmese size another makes retic size. Also how are their temperaments for you so far?

Father is a Sulawesi Retic so the babies genetically could get quite large if you feed them as such. I don't feed any of my snakes the maximum that they could eat. Mother and father of these snakes were both 4 years old and 10 feet long. The father was stunted a bit by the previous owner who obviously did not stuff him, but he breeds fine and is as tame as can be - what more could you ask for from a Sulawesi Retic! The babies are all tame, that only took 1 week of proper handling. I am not a "puppy mill", all my 30 or so snakes are my pets, all are tame and quite happy to come out of their enclosures (which they all do several times a week). If they breed for me, that is a bonus, but that is not why I keep them. Ron.
