The longest of the pythons, the retic is a relatively slender snake, but large specimens can attain considerable size and girth.  Coloration generally consists of pale dorsal areas on the back, and smaller white lateral spaces high on the sides, broken by a black reticulated pattern, however, this is an extremely variable species with considerable variation in appearance from different localities..

Arguably one of the most beautiful  snakes, the reticulated python enjoyed its break through in popularity among keepers during the late 1990s. Retics are big, powerful, and intelligent.  They can have a dangerous bite, yet can be incredibly docile.  It’s extraordinary to consider that this huge predator still lurks at the edge of civilization in it's natural geographic habitat..

Retics are genuinely huge snakes.

If you’re obsessed with snakes,

it’s hard not to be swept away by the biggest and most beautiful snake of them all.
