5 Reasons Super Dwarf Retics are the BEST PET SNAKE 

To be fair, they lost out mostly on availability and cost, two things that don’t effect the joy you get out of the snake once you get it. Clint did say how much he loved his snake.

I agree. They’re an excellent family snake. TC is the first snake that I would let a new person interact with before any of our others for sure. For a family that wants a snake they can see most of the time and that doesn’t mind interacting and handling, get a super dwarf!

"When they find out that you can get reticulated pythons at any size you want" - yup, this was me after watching Clint's video. Hopefully I can find UK breeder with a reputation like yours!

We have a Kingsnake, Ball Pythons, Boa Constrictors as well as a Superdwarf and Dwarf Retic from you. I probably sound biased but the Retics are my favorite... 👀 Pretty much the most awesome snakes of all time. Great stuff Garrett! 👍

Alright, that’s it. I’m getting one.

Do a PPV boxing fight with Clints reptiles! LoL, I would definitely purchase and watch!

They really are the best pet snake(at least for what I generally look for in a snake.) Not only do reticulated pythons have some of the best morphs, but small/baby snakes always look better than their larger/adult counterparparts, even just due to it having them having smaller scales that make the pattern look smoother, and make the pattern not break up as much, especially where one scale is say, all black and one next to it is yellow or white. As much it would be cool to have an adult mainland retic(actually, I take that back, it would suck. Unless someone else did all the cage building, cleaning, etc.), I want a snake I can handle without it being potentially dangerous, and needing to take a break to catch my breath after 2 minutes(and that won't knock over everything in my house in the process.) I would also feel bad keeping such a giant snake, especially a relatively active one, that also likes to climb, in even the biggest of cages people tend to keep adult retics in. I want to be able chill on my computer or on the couch with my girlfriend watching a moving while holding my snake(sigh...you know what I mean, geez.) I've also always always though baby reticle are among the curest of snakes, particularly their heads, and having a super dwarf is almost like having a baby retic forever. I genuinely cannot wait to see some of the morphs that get brought over into super dwarves. In particular, those super orange snakes, some even solid orange(I've always loved patternless snakes) ones that Jay at prehistoric pets hatches sometimes. Would that bright orange last into adulthood?

Something about those Karompa’s that just has me obsessed with them. They’re so amazing. I love that you know how important keeping the pure bloodlines of these localities is 💕

This is definitely one of the BEST videos that you have shared Garrett !! The information is spot on and I feel these facts about the Retics is actually typical with most snakes with quality personal time invested with each one :)

I bought one from you guys a few months ago and absolutely love her. She is the best snake I have ever owned. It had been a couple years since I’ve actually owned a snake and since I only wanted to get one, I wanted it to be special in man she is. oh, and Joe was so helpful I just love our girl we named her Goldie.

Thank you, Garrett. I have been dreaming of these for so long, thinking they would always be above my pay grade. Back in the 90s, I got to work with the vet for the reptiles at Zoo Boise as a mentor through scouts. (I'm dating myself, here... ) She had a small animal clinic as well, so the first snake I ever held was a white lipped python.

They are stunningly beautiful snakes that's for sure. And they're less spicy than bullsnakes... Maybe one day when I'm rich.

I've wanted a retic forever but like you said, they're way too big. So I think my next snake will be a dwarf retic. Would mind something the size of a Boa Constrictor. 7-10 ft would be manageable for me alone and still an impressive size. But it'll likely be a couple years before my next snake.

I wake up on a Saturday morning to this todays going to be a good day

Yeah, I've always said that's the biggest problem with Clint's system. Not only are there other things to consider besides the 5 criteria he uses, but they're also not weighted. So something like a cobra or rattlesnake or gabboon viper or hell, a coral snake may get high scores in 4 categories, but only 1 low score(i.e.handleability), and it could potentially get a better score than a very good, reasonable pet. Granted, I get that's it's mostly for fun, and that he points this out when it occurs, and discusses the pros of cons of that particular animal, he doesn't just give you a number. I do really love that he's been branching off from his "best pet reptile" series, and has been making videos on more specific topics having to do with biology, evolution, taxonomy/phylogeny, etc., particularly on his second channel.

Fantastic vid. Be cool if National Geographic did a show on you.

You guys really killed the edit on this one! I’ve been watching a long time, you keep up with these style videos and edits your channels going to explode

They are so intelligent and they move completely different from other snakes. They are so much fun to interact with. We totally adore our girl. 🥰🐍And beautiful video!

he just convinced me to go from boas to retics

I just recently got my first snake he’s a 50% sleyar male

Wild type SD is on my bucket list.

You’ve got Sean Penn as your camera guy!!!!!

I need and want a super dwarf retic. I love love LOVE them. I just cannot find one anywhere.

I love the albino color contrasts!

I guess Clinton is just i little annoyed by them for destroying his laptop.

And thats whyi want a SD retic

Man i want one of these so damn bad

Great video Garrett! Snakes all look spectacular!

Loved the video! These really are the best pet snakes! One suggestion - looks like there are two reason number 4s...

Great video! I like how you’re getting Joe in there! And I’m loving my girl!! She’s definitely becoming my favorite snake!! 🐍

Pretty much the only thing stopping me is that I have not enough space for a second snake right now. Maybe once I move in a few years

Bro, my wife is gonna HATE you for convincing me to get into retics!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! 😂

I've been wanting a snake for over 2 decades and decided to finally get one. Ball Pythons are really "basic" but that's what I decided on, despite their annoying eating habits. Then I saw these snakes on Clint's channel. I really wish I could get one, they're basically perfect. But I think they are out of my price range. :( Oh well, hopefully some day I can get one from you. Great video ☺️

Dangit Garrett, you've been making me want a super dwarf even more lately. Preferably a motley GC but I'm really diggin the marbles...

Next on my snake list is SD from you. Like you said, the fact they are a rare species is very appealing to me. I work with dumerils boas because theyre amazing but also i was drawn to them because they are so rare in the wild and the genus is very small. While they arent that uncommon i feel lucky to be keeping them.

Every part of this vid is absolutely on point. 5/5 will always recommend.

Im sold, I'll be coming to see you soon.

Love that Karompa in your end clip. Would love to have one myself. But don't have the space. But in a few years, I'll definitely be hitting you up.

Super dwarf retics I heard about them back then but me seeing this video now I wish I could have one I own a Corn Snake I named her Medusa I bought her at the Tinley Park Reptile Expo Corn Snakes are Awesome pet Snakes good eaters and friendly just like the super dwarf retic

You are doing a great job at educating keepers on the realities of keeping Mainland Retics that according to USARK, only some keepers have the skills, experience, space and budget to be able to properly care for. Super Dwarf Retics on the other hand are far more manageable by many more keepers and can easily be kept and housed in a commercially available enclosure (there are no suitable enclosures made for mainland retics anywhere). We need more breeders and educators like you if we are to continue on our path towards becoming a responsible, credible part of the pet industry.

You should send one to snake discovery. She could use it in programs

3.6 smh 🤦‍♂️ they don’t even need a leash or anything. I need to write these safety rules down though tbh That mochino blew my mind… gorgeous as hell

That is soo rad!! I wish i could keep it, sadly retics are illegal in my country (even dwarfs).

I’d love one like #210306 the Kalatoa look. He’s beautiful. I think that’s similar to Bob Bledsoe’s, right? It doesn’t look like any of them are available. Do you plan on having more?

Dwarf and Superdwarf retics are pretty rad (and I want a couple from you someday too!), BUT... every point you make here also applies to the dwarf boas I work with. Do I need to make a reply video? 🤔 😂 Great work!

Do you have a care guide on these cool snakes? Enclosure size for an adult tempts and as an adult what do they eat? I'm very new to snakes and these are just reaching out to me, also small dog around a bad idea?

i guess i need to check laws here in ontario canada i have 15 foot snakes from birth to sad end 18 yrs is some cases now that i am retired im am screwed on my wish list i need to do more research

Forget Canada, I need one of these (maybe two :) and I'm in France !

yes they cute,n curious..but how lg. do they get ? .

Fyi 3.6 is a really high rating. I don't remember the specifics on his SD video but something that drags down the score is reletive to beginner snakes. They are bigger than ball pythons, they have a higher cost initially, and there is a risk of getting a much larger snake than what you actually were expecting. He has a few SD and speaks highly of them.

How do super dwarf retics compare to boa imperator regarding temperament?

Cali Kingsnakes also have the food drive.😛 But I agree super dwarfs are cool!

Shoot now I want one. Thanks Garrett 😂

How can one tell what is still available and what has already sold on your website? I’m also curious about pricing, but will wait until you’re able to get to my email (I figure you guys get a lot of them).

I'm so in love with them but are they a good first snake ? I have experience with snakes but never owned one myself. I breed sheep and I keep bees and feed the wild grass snake that lives in my compost but this isn't even close to owning snakes 😅

Some day will have room and money at same time and then I will definitely get one of your babys. Would not go to anybody else. They just seem to be getting more beautiful as time goes on. Love there personality. GOD BLESS 🐍💖🐍💖🐍💖

They do have one drawback. They aren’t legal to have in every state. Although they are amazing snakes, “The Best Pet Snake”, should be available wherever you may live.

Are you going to try to develop a morph pattern like the main land cow morph? Personally I would love to get a cow retic but main lands are just to far out of my league.

I think they're absolutely amazing I'm just waiting for the price point to come down a little I say give it a few years and the more genetically common super dwarf crosses will probably be a little less money

Where do you have babies for sale posted ?

Someday... Someday. For now I'm going to be happy with my boa and Colubrids 😂😂😂

I would love to have one but I don't know anybody in UK that I know I can trust to get one ! I see many for sale but you never know if it's really a super dwarf or am I gonna end up with a huge snake ! I wonder if you know anyone in UK that you could recommend ??

How big do they get

If you pair a superdwarf male with a mainland female is the clutch going to be mainland size or dwarf size?

Do you sale dwarf retics? And is it cheaper than the retic?

Have u breed a pied to a super Dorf

I have a 50% Kataloa SD Tribal GC het amel. She is an amazing snake, and super social. Near a year she is 210 grams and 3 feet. I don't think she's going to get past 7 feet and 7-10 pounds...

4:30 I have been trying to tell women this about me for years!

I’m sold, I want one. Oh no.

Hi i'm from indonesia, have you came to indonesia before ?

Me before: I didn't want a retic cause they're too damn big! Me after this video: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!! Me after typing: Watching ICE AGE on Disney+!!

Reach out Reptiles, Clint Laidlaw said that the supper dwarf retic is a great beginner snake. Do you think a supper dwarf could be a good first pet reptile? Asking for my future-self. So far I have plants and fish but 0 reptiles. P.S. My husband and I both love holding Athena at Clint's Reptile Room, thank you for sending her to Clint and giving us the opportunity to hold such a beautiful animal!

Won't you guys relocate to Europe, cause as far as I'm concerned your gorgeous snakes are still on an unreachable "island" ;)

so Clint was a bit wrong on the rating but it not just availability and cost it also the fact that it may drop an explosion of pee

I will place an logical argument. Retics are the best in general

Garret Your snakes are magical. Hence this song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Hef5OXHr5I.html

Rofl "that was the lamest outro ever"

Sorry but mainland Retic is NOT the biggest snake in the world.

What you breeders want for these is the only part about the snake that’s amazing me. What an actual joke that you want 2000 for a snake 😂 wonder why they aren’t popular Jesus Christ
