I think I actually like that long, lean look better than the really massive bulky ones! She had a nice calm temperament too, and gorgeous bright yellow color!
Well I guess it does have to be great genetics because the meals she was taking were by no means big. She's a tiger produced by Bob Clark. I know the stuff he produces generally have a reputation for getting pretty large.
DEVprince99 It's because there was one found in 1920 that was reported to have measured at 32ft 10 inches. It actually seems relatively verified but it was a long time ago so who knows. In my opinion I do believe it was real, but I also believe it was just a freak of nature. I don't think retics that large exist anymore. Not with the skin trade and hunting that's been going on lately anyways. The wild population needs to be massive and untouched for the genetic freaks over 30ft to appear again. I'm fairly certain it has something to do with growth hormone disorders similar to what happens in humans. Take Andre the giant for example. You could go years and never see another person that massive. It's not that people like Andre don't exist, its just that only one person in about a billion get that large. The same goes for retics. The only difference is that we now have dwarf and superdwarf retics being bred to mainland retics. I suspect that retics will gradually get smaller because of this. Especially if wild animals aren't continually exported from the mainland for new blood. I'm legitimately a little worried about Burmese and reticulated pythons getting smaller and having diluted genetics. for whatever reason people have a huge problem with hybrids but they don't care at all about mixing dwaef and super dwarf pythons with their larger counterparts. In my opinion that's even more harmful than crossbreeding because there's often no way to tell how much dwarf and SD DNA is in an animal. The result is that some shops have no idea how large their animals will get and you just have to take a wild guess.
So mainland retic is a ‘kind’ of retic that is smaller, and is called dwarf?? I was curious about dwarfs, that is truly what I would love to have. Hmmm
Jay, what's the largest potential size for a male retic. I really want a male purple albino tiger. I know I don't want a female. Just want an amazing spectacular pet. I want to build a cage for him, obviously before acquiring one. But I'm thinking of a cage size... 12' W x 3'D x 4'T. I'm assuming with age his potential size wouldn't get more than 17'. Thoughts.
I've often wondered if the best way to give a snake that needs it extra vitamins would be to inject a food animal with a liquid vitamin solution. It seems the most logical way to do it to me.
Alexis Grunden Be careful though. Snakes bodies work much differently than mammals like us. Even one tablet of Advil is enough to kill an adult python, even a large burm or retic. I'd be very careful which vitamins you use because who knows how it will react in a reptiles stomach. It'd be hard to find vitamins meant specifically for what you are describing. I'd personally feel uncomfortable experimenting like that.
Alex Crowder Good point, though there are reptile-formulated vitamins; I used to sprinkle the powder form of one variety on my iguana's food periodically. I was working off a similar thought process here; not too huge a leap, I think.
i know that this is a different snake but this is a snake Chanel and many u or someone else can answer for me i have 2 red tail boas and im planing on building their cages for them soon and i was wondering if i could have a tile floor instead of a mulch floor.

It’s amazing how different it looks now! An amazing difference 👏🏼
im glad yall made this video cause ppl tell me my burmese is to small she is 1 1\2 and 5ft long i feed her 1 large rat every sunday
Can you do a store tour pleass when i go to amerika i will go to your store i live in the netherlands (Holland) (NL)
Great video great info. Love the 3 cuties u put in the vid.
I second the vote for a store tour vid, i would love to see the entire shop!
my daughter is in this video!!!
KD which one is your daughter? I am in this video as well
that brunette girl is cute! lol.. great info prehistoric!
show us vids about a whole clutch of hatchlings, ideally after 1st shed, that would be amazing.
u r right. my one maintain in 3ft after 1 year.
I fed my female mainland tiger once every two weeks... Sometimes even less... And she has grown to 12ft in about 2 years.

eternale23 especially tigers. the longest snake in captivity was a tiger. at 24 feet.

Is there any chance I can have a top plz

More egg pulling vids? I mean I know you love what you do but can you do some other videos other than just pulling eggs?
egg pulling will from now on be boring regardless of who is in the video
Thumbs up!
Hey I want to come work for you guys it's my life dream to work with reptiles for a living :/
Call them I worked there!!
I think sevosh is16rather than 40
No More egg pulling vids!! :(
Nice
it's disgusting to say to a man - a super-dwarf has come. You shouldn't videotape such shameful behavior.
