Are Dwarf Retics Flighty [Aggressive]?

Do Dwarf and Super Dwarf Retics have bad temperaments? Are Superdwarves "flighty?" And what does that even mean? This week Garrett pokes a little playful fun at mainland breeders who generalized the temperaments of all Dwarf and Superdwarf Reticulated pythons, when they have only met a few. Then we get an in-depth Reptile Room tour of the personalities of Reach Out Reptiles' own animals, from selectively bred captive hatched animals that are many generations away from wild caught, to some of the original founding wild caught pure locality Superdwarves. Comment below and tell us if YOU think these animals have bad attitudes for snakes!
The terms "Dwarf Reticulated Python" and "Super Dwarf Reticulated Python" are used to describe Reticulated pythons of the subspecies Satuprai and Jampeanus, along with crosses of these subspecies into mainland reticulated pythons to refine the amazing array of genetic morphs within that species, and reduce their size to something more suited to a life with humans. Unfortunately, these terms are often used to mislead uneducated buyers into purchasing snakes with insufficient Dwarf and SD influence (lower than 50% Dwarf/SD Blood), or by completely misrepresenting larger grow Retics altogether!
Pure locality Dwarf and Super Dwarf Retics from the Selayer, Jampea, Kayuadi, Kalatoa, Madu, and Karompa islands of Indonesia form a group represented by two unique subspecies of Reticulated python that have actually adapted to live in harsh environments with their diminutive size- packing all the intelligence, confidence, and incredibly beautiful color and pattern of the world's longest snake into a tiny little package, some being even as small as corn snakes! Unfortunately, they are still quite rare in captivity, and difficult to find.
At Reach Out Reptiles we dedicate ourselves completely to Dwarf and Super Dwarf Reticulated pythons like no one else in the world! We want everyone to be able to learn about this little known and under-appreciated, misunderstood, and highly misrepresented group of animals without all the politics and personal agendas being pushed by sellers. Stay awhile, and connect with us, and the WILD within you that really makes you HUMAN!

I always think of "flighty" as meaning frightened and trying to get away; not aggressive; actually the opposite! The only one that seemed to behave like it wanted to get away was your last one that you said was the least socialized. There's a definite difference between just moving to explore and trying to run from you. Most of the others just seemed curious and wanting to go explore. What you said makes alot of sense. The longer a species is kept in captivity and bred the more likely it is to become much more docile than its wild caught counterparts. I think probably breeders selectively breed (at least somewhat) for temperament over the generations since these snakes are in the pet trade and they want their customers to have a good experience.
@ReachOutReptiles
@ReachOutReptiles 5 лет назад
I agree Flighty and aggressive are different behaviors, but both would be exhibited by an animal that was not enjoying human interaction. We don't see much of either, here... after 20 years working with these guys. The places you will see it are more cutting edge morph projects, or extremely rare locality animals.

​@@ReachOutReptiles Yup. You're right. I really feel that a large segment of people in the hobby haven't caught up with current understanding and are still in the mode of viewing all snakes very narrowly. Just like Retics Ball Pythons are misunderstood as well. I saw someone post on Facebook just the other day saying that she thought a happy Ball Python is one who you never see and is always in its hide. I found that really sad and it goes to show what people often miss the point on about Ball Pythons is that for them hiding is a defense. A truly happy and comfortable Ball Python doesn't stay in a ball or in its hide, but is naturally out exploring and interacting with people. They tend to be nocturnal so they may sleep alot of the day and that could be what people misunderstand as unsociability. I mostly handle mine late afternoon or at night and they move and explore quite a bit when they're awake and rested. They are not the pet rocks many think they are. I am really encouraged by some of the research showing snakes actually are capable of social interaction, forming relationships, and are underestimated in their ability to learn and problem solve. I think we are just beginning to scratch the surface in understanding the inner life of snakes. I suspect they understand alot more than many give them credit for. This may be another good topic for a future video. :-)

You don't even need to selectively breed for more docile animals to get more docile animals. If an animal is more docile, it will likely be less stresses, thus it might eat and mate better. Essentially, the individuals that do better in captivity will have their genes more represented in the next generation, so for every extra captive generation, you are more likely to see animals that do better in captivity, which will typically mean: more docile.

I figured that the “flighty nature” that people say they are is because of the number of generations from wild caught vs mainland having been bred for so many generations. The snakes in your video seem to act just like the young mainland of that size so I don’t know why they refer to them as flighty. Love that White Diamond. Thanks Garrret.

So many people feel that Retics in general are flighty and I raised a big Mainland to 18 feet and what I considered flighty behavior was seriously nothing more than curiosity and excitement !!! Mine was never aggressive or defensive when up and going and that's the truth. I wish people would stop with the misinformation !! You sure are right on with this information Garrett and glad to see you addressing this topic :) Retics are very intelligent snakes and love to learn and explore and they do get excited not aggressive necessarily :o)
@ReachOutReptiles
@ReachOutReptiles 5 лет назад
I tend to agree, and you really can't lump every animal into one category. Usually, when I post any picture of a snake the first comment people make is "price?" If they were more concerned about getting an animal that had a mild temperament, and then worked with it after getting them, they wouldn't have to worry about generalizations about different species! :)

Great video as always!! I've 2 questions (also suggestions for next superdwarf videos maybe) : 1) I know that superdwarf retics sometimes have a much more dizzy pattern (in case of no pattern mutation I guess) on their neck than mainlands. Are there other signs you can see on a (super)dwarf retic that are indicative for being (super)dwarf? (I've also heard the color of the eyes might be silver more often?) 2) You (like everyone) said that, in general, snakes from let's say 5th gen out of the wild are much more calm/less flighty/less defensive than snakes 1st gen outta wild. But I wonder why. Would being scared of humans (or any other potential predator for that matter) also be a genetic thing? Sounds kinda odd to me I have to say :) Thanks in advance :)
@ReachOutReptiles
@ReachOutReptiles 5 лет назад
We will take an in-depth look at some of the traits of each locality as I am able to produce such videos. As for the why behind domestication- animals that are more suited to captivity will get more more food, less stress, and thrive over animals that are less suited. That will automatically cause them to reproduce more often, and in greater numbers, eventually outpacing the less suited animals. It doesn't alway take a certain number of generations to accomplish that, just time for that animal to have more babies than the competition. It happens the same way as in the wild- animals with a competitive edge pass their genetics along at a faster rate than others.

When the eggs are nearly ready to hatch some breeders cut an hole in the egg then reach in and pull them out. So the snakes first contact of a human is a giant hand pulling them out That's the first thing imprinted on there mind. So that's there first experience of human contact. That's why this method I think you get nervous snakes jumpy flighty bitey. Breeders do it this way for profit. Other breeders cut an hole in the egg and let them come out on there own so there first contact with humans are a more gentle one. I think this method you get a calmer snake. This is my view on the subject.
@ReachOutReptiles
@ReachOutReptiles 5 лет назад
Why do you think pulling them out would create more profit? Your theory is interesting, and certainly one bad experience can set the tone for a relationship, but I think there are many more factors involved in this particular scenario.
@Steve200300
@Steve200300 5 лет назад
@@ReachOutReptiles Breeders cut all the eggs open to gain as many snakes as possible (profits). I've based my comments on common sense. Imagine your a snake and first thing you experience from a human is a giant hand pulling you from your egg to the snake that must be frightening. Same with hook training some people tap them on the head to the human its a tap, the snake it's like hitting them on the head with a rock. I would be defensive aggressive and bite if someone hit me on the head. I look at things not just from a common sense but also the animals behaviour.
@lyrieth8833
@lyrieth8833 5 лет назад
People who complain about a snake being a snake don't need a pet snake in any form. They like to move and their only defense is their bite, if you don't work with them just like all animals they will revert back to wild behaviors. This is true about most animals horses, cats, dogs, and snakes. I always thought flighty meant easy to scare or run away people use this a lot in the horse world. If I could I would love to have a dwarf retic but i have anti snake roommates!

I don't think those traits follow the Pied gene any more than they follow the SD Retics. That's how the majority of Retics acted back in the days I started keeping. Mainland, SD, Morph this or morph that- they take a little time to domesticate to the point of making good captives. Pieds will eventually become as tame as any other morph, once that bloodline has been outcrossed into "nicer" snakes. I sent Brian 4 snakes from Pied breedings, she is the only one who acts that way- so progress is already being made. The whole point of this video is not to judge an entire race by its wild ancestors. If you want a well behaved SD or Pied, or any snake, ask the breeder. When someone posts a snake for sale online, you will see many people immediately reply "Price?" Maybe instead, they should ask "Personality?"- at least if they value a good personality in their animals.

Reach Out Reptiles thanks for the reply. So the pieds are just still closer in generations to wild caught animals then? I was wondering cause I was in a live stream with a very well know retic breeder and I asked about pieds and he even said “they just feel insecure a lot and often need some love from a good keeper to get them to be comfortable with you.” So I figure I’d ask you the same question. Thanks again for taking time to reply! Keep making awesome videos Garrett!

Check out Susan Robertson in the UK- she has some amazing SDs, some of which are from the same bloodlines as mine. ;)

There are no aggressive snakes, only defensive.

I would like to make the argument that there are aggressive snakes, but only in the handful of cases when an exceptionally large constrictor has attacked a person in an act of predation. The other 99% of the time they are in fact just defensive.
