SUPER DWARF RETICULATED PYTHONS WITH REACH OUT REPTILES! (the definitive SD retic guide)

[@moritzlaszlo3115]

I just watched the first 5 minutes of the video. I already really like the concept: 1. selling animals as living creatures, not as a gimmick 2. giving them space I'm from Germany and here it is forbidden by law to keep snakes (except for juveniles) in racks. The minimum amount of space for an adult sanke is his body lengs 1x0,5x0,5 (lxhxw) so a 4 foot snake needs a 4 by 2 by 2 enclosure. That reduces the number of animals you can keep, but you can enjoy them way more than stuffed into small boxes.

[@evanmccudden3083]

Damn, I wish everywhere had the same rule as Germany 😂

[@ilc_mike.2241]

Nein,dass ist Bullshit Königspythons darf man in Racks halten,ist wohl Artenbeschränkt aber dein Kommentar stimmt dennoch nicht Würde wohl aber noch auf's Bundesland ankommen

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

Hey men I live in Belgium. Here we're only allowed to keep 147 snake species. The biggest snake we can keep or BCI and BCC. So no burms or retics. What's the law in Germany? Btw I have a male aberrant cali king that's 4months young. He's a sweethart and also very curious.👍🐍

[@Zamara00]

Garrett's the man! Incredible guy that's really earned his stellar reputation!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Couldn't agree more!

[@joslinnick]

I would use the word "Industrial" to describe Garrett's interior decorating preference.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

For sure!

[@potanz8526]

Thats what you get when you go to Pittsburgh

[@tobyp2065]

That motley golden child was absolutely stunning. Garrett is an awesome guy I've watched for quite a while now. Glad you got to go hang out with him.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

It was an awesome few days

[@dillsnickle]

wow! i have much respect for garrett and the way he keeps and handles his animals, and some day if i get a retic, i’ll get it from no other breeder!

[@mypawfectfamily]

This is my favorite guy whose been on the show. He seems so genuine and down to earth. While being clearly knowledgeable and passionate

[@Steevee14]

Yes! Genuine and down to earth - pretty typical Pittsburgher!

[@shanacoville8081]

Always wanted a retic!...just not a 20' one. Now, I'm nervous about buying elsewhere. I want to KNOW my snake won't get too big for me to care for 😅

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Always gotta go with a dedicated SD breeder!

[@robertmoore1123]

See I agree I always thought they all still to big but maybe not .. gonna have to spend a lot of money for a coffee cup and Tin lol.

[@juancarloscampos1616]

Sounds like you need a ball python.

[@zacharylipke9488]

20"*

[@shanacoville8081]

Juan Carlos Campos I already have one of those. I’d like a dwarf retic. As I said

[@eywasdaughter]

I've handled two baby retics at my local reptile shop, unaware of the negative reputation they sometimes carry. Also a 25 foot old lady at a zoo workshop - so tame that toddlers could stroke her head and nose! I thought they were all wonderful - very personable, curious and very easy to handle (babies not giant one! 😉) once you've earned their trust. They are super intelligent animals and in looks they are the definitive Jungle Book snake. They look 'velvety'. Definitely misunderstood and very, very special. Super Dwarfs are on my dream wish list - but how on earth do you choose between all those amazing morphs? 🤔 (think those super tigers might win though, wow). Thanks Dav and Garrett for showing us some of these gorgeous snakes 🤗🐍 More videos together please - how about a joint trip to some of those islands to see them in the wild? 👍 PS - you need one of those tiny homes on wheels, with a whole interior wall converted into tanks so you can take your animals travelling with you Dav! (well at least around the US!)

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

We actually talked about that trip when I was there! I really should look into a mobile home. I'd save a lot on mortgage, etc lol

[@illoney5663]

Ka from the Jungle Book is actually supposed to be a reticulated python, if I recall correctly. So the "Jungle Book snake" thing seems fitting.

[@P51DFreak25]

@@illoney5663 I believe he’s an Indian Python

[@musclefixer]

Holy smokes, those are some beautiful animals! Hats off to Garrett for his dedication to the breed.

[@ALLGODSDIE]

Garrett is an wealth of knowledge.. as the same as you.. I've learned more from you than any other reptile keeper/breeder

[@ashleyschabel1049]

My Favorite retic of all time is a Super Tiger! Those super tiger dwarf ?? Are so STUNNING!! I'm so amazed at the Care and Passion that's put in to this work. This is what Pure Driven Passion looks like. I'm Truly Grateful to be able to witness and get a glimpse into this. This might the closest I'll ever be to such Stunning Creatures. Thank You

[@johnschlesinger2009]

I have watched a lot of Garret’s videos. While I’m not really a selective breeding enthusiast, I think the care he gives his animals is as good as it can be given the size of his collection and the space he has. And, whether you’re into morphs or not, he has bred stunning animals. I like his shelf idea for the snakes. Thanks Dav for another highly enjoyable video.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Glad you enjoyed John

[@tonygayter]

Im not a retic keeper but always wondered about the SD retic, fantastic video and really well explained. Thanks guys!

[@kgconstrictors]

Outstanding!!! He has nailed it! True super dwarfs the best of the best in a small package. And manageable size but the same look as the mainland retics! Revolutionary and such a serious breeder! Rock On!! Retics are so amazing but they get so big its hard to find forever responsible homes. So much work well deserved! Wow!

[@mtrehker]

Garrett is awesome...his knowledge about and dedication to dwarf and superdwarf retics is incredible! Great video, Dav!!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I agree!

[@Ibaneddie76]

I owe Garret so many thanks, because of his incubator videos I've been hatching out 100% of all my viable ball python eggs and his incubation methods have taken most of the worry around egg incubation out of the picture for me. I really don't know why more breeders don't use his method it's fool proof and trust me I know fool!

[@snakemannn1744]

Amazing stuff ,,, woah the Iridescent's of them all ,,,, woooooshhhhh ,, keep rolling '

[@robertmoore1123]

Great video of garrats place. He is way different and even ahead of many breeders and has a great attitude to boot. He talks in a way in which is easily understood for those of us who haven't done this for twenty years .. I love his channel even though I will prob never want any retic well maybe a super small one . But he's a great influence and amasador for the reptile hobby and world ... So two great guys in the reptile world together ...

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Totally agree!

[@amyb5339]

Overnight success took 15 years, but your star is rising Garrett. You are the face of the dwarf/sd retic market. Your branding, while not flashy, is effective. Great and amazing work. Some of the most beautiful animals. I have seen in herpetoculture

[@andylydon8416]

I've seen Garrett's videos and I really liked them but I never knew he had so much knowledge and so many awesome snakes! Thanks for going there. you both rock!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks Andy!

[@illoney5663]

The one he brings out at 19:54 but never says the locality name(I need to know!)was the most gorgeous one in my opinion, fantastic looking snake! Granted they all look great, but this one takes the prize for me.

[@izziek.7923]

dont know if you found in the mean time, but its a sulawesi locality - we got a few in europe over the past few years. they look really nice

[@NoGiRilla]

I think Garrett is my favorite retic lol he thinks like them knows their ins and outs so well he is an amazing person in the Reptile community. Awesome video 💪🏼🔥💪🏼

[@ReachOutReptiles]

LOL

[@dickmico3043]

Dude, Garret is the SD King! I love listening to him nerd out on localities and genetics. He’s got some really great videos out there that are super informative and you gotta love his style! Need I say more? Thanks again for another great video. BTW Dāv, what did you end up with when you went shopping at Reach Out Reptiles? 🤘🏻🐍

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I'm still shopping. lol. I want to get a really nice male to go with the female we already have, so we're talking about some things. I'm definitely getting it from Garrett though.

[@Hamburglar009]

Omg I’m not a retic guy at all but that first retic you brought outside to show off, the “normal” version in super dwarf size, was STUNNING. Absolutely beautiful snake

[@Muerte26]

Great video.. My wife agreed its cool to get into sd/d retics somewhat skeptical as she remembers the big guys we had back in the late 80's and traded some emails with garret. After showing her this vid she's on board 100% and is more excited than I am to hopefully get one soon!!!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Nice!

[@angelabrown6598]

He seems like a really nice guy and he treats his babies well. I’d buy off him if I lived in the same country! 🐍🐍🐍

[@PiffMimz]

When I bought my snake I got him from basically the best breeders in my country :) I think it's really important to get animals from breeders that really care about their animals :)

[@abigails8935]

"Its an accumulation of everything great everything has done". -Reach Out Reptiles Love this quote 👏😍🤎🐍

[@Carriesue1982]

I really enjoyed this guy! I just started my own hognose hobby breeder project and I am really striving to do a bit more for them. They have enrichment and can burrow along with larger tubs. I also really care about my snakes temperament and want them accustomed to handling before they’re sold. Now that said I understand that I can do this because I have a much smaller operation, not knocking the more experienced guys doing it differently than me.. it’s just how I am choosing to do things. But I appreciate his perspective and it was cool to hear what he had to say!

[@High_Octane]

full of yourself.

Hey i love listening to garrets dwarf super dwarf island history an island the size of central park that is so amazing never stop working do ur thing id love to check u out someday

[@marshallawmorphs3758]

I am obsessed with the Madu Kalotoa male. For me the draw to the SD animals has to do with what Garrett talks about. One tsunami and these animals are gone! Not only is he bringing retics to those who don't want a huge snake but he's preserving a species

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

That's unfortunately true, and just a more solid argument for the invisible ark. .

[@TheHeadown]

Awesome content as always. 👍🏻 I got to mention that in almost every intro you do in your vlogs when you often look right in the camera and slowly walk forward it looks like you are floating or stand on a like a segway or something and just levitate slowly forward. Almost every time, I think that looks really cool. (:

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Lol! What makes you think I'm not levitating?

[@TheHeadown]

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Hahaha! I knew it! (; If I could travel the world and see wildlife like you then maybe I would levitate too of pure exitement. (:

Brought it down to the 12% Half way back half way back never will get completely back but will be smaller.... right :-) Parthenogenesis is the Mostis!

We have Curly tail lizards, basilisks, Cuban anoles, brown/green anoles, knight anoles, tokay geckos, butterfly lizards, chameleons, iguanas, tegus, amebas, and African agama agama. The ones where the males are colored like a rainbow. Females are much smaller and just brown. Also, glass lizards, mole skinks, house geckos, mile monitors, whip tails, and so many more!!! It’s actually pretty impressive. Not to mention all the different kind of snakes, turtles, alligators, salt crocs, bobcats, giant hogs, peacock bass, clown knife fish, Chinese bullseye snakeheads, Midas fish, jaguar fish, and house geckos. Also, a lot of different species of frogs, spiders, insects, birds, snakes, exotic fish, moths, and so many others!!!!! actually, have very cool poisonous and non caterpillars and the butterflies are amazing looking. . Have poisonous frogs, venomous snakes, panthers, deer, bears, and much more!!

My favorite is definitely that snow GC, that little dude is a stunner for sure! Retics retain their color better than boa and ball python in my opinion, I just can't have them in my house because of their size(well I used to have one I was too young to know at that point), I wish I could own SD retics someday. By the way I really want to buy one of his incubator.
