The terms "Dwarf Reticulated Python" and "Super Dwarf Reticulated Python" are used to describe Reticulated pythons of the subspecies Satuprai and Jampeanus, along with half-blood 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 generally 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 growing Retics altogether!
Pure locality Dwarf and Super Dwarf Retics from the Selayer, Jampea, Kayuadi, Tombolongan, 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 except through dedicated breeders.
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 in a simple, straightforward way. Stay awhile, and connect with us, and with the WILD in you that really makes you HUMAN!

Love it. I’m doing this. I was cutting dowels and dropping them in the glass tracks. This is so much easier to use.

[@BrianGundy]

What a great idea Garret. I hope all is well my friend.

[@FrogTownexotics29]

Been searching for days on a way to secure my boa that doesn’t involve an actual lock and apparently all I need is a metal hanger.

[@The_Horizon]

this is such an elegant solution. Easy for a human to open, but probably much harder for my cat to.

[@ohmaimariapie]

Wow that’s amazing

[@michaelmcconnell7302]

this technique may or may not have been employed successfully on a kaouthia cage in the past 😁

[@philcammarata4278]

Thanks for the educational video never can learn or know to much knowledge is a wonderful thing

[@kitsune0rei]

You are awesome! Everyone recommended sliding locks, but I really didn't want to have to deal with a key when I'm only concerned about my snake getting out, I also feel like some of those scratch the glass. I was thinking of those hinge things for childproofing sliding glass doors, but this is something I can do now! I think I will have to bend back the end so it's not sharp, the way my enclosure is that part would poke in where my snake is- my sliding doors are above the dirt guard, not in front of.

[@Gottalovecarpetpythons]

Now that is brilliant, l had a gril so determined to get out and she did, even using two rubber stoppers. Found her in my loungeroom under the poof thankgoodness, that is after looking for about an hour. Thanks Garrett.

Great tip with making a homemade lock for sliding glass doors for cages.

[@sashazahradnikova7701]

Thanks for the tip, works like a charm for my ASF cages. I could have bought locks, but the key is a bother, this is cheaper and better, and even looks better.

[@herpdiversity9152]

When I build my sliding glass door enclosure I am doing this. Thank you

[@jessepalm5979]

Awesome video. Wire coat hangers make some great tools “ old ford radio removal. “ keep up the great work.

[@pyromancyglassart8975]

Great tip thanks for sharing 👍 😀

[@LanceKirkman]

WOW

[@TheMarkg6]

Why not just shorten the glass panels?

[@Ac-qx6oc]

It’s definitely harder too cut glass than use pliers a clamp and a clothing hanger
