Karompa Super Dwarf Retics [A Brief Locality Overview]

[@TheRoyalTurns]

I know people probably try to give you video suggestions all the time... but I would LOVE it if you could do an episode like this for each locality talking about where they come from, their general characteristics, and showing examples of adults (when possible). I think it would be so helpful to keepers (like myself) looking into Retics and trying to figure out what is a good fit for them. Keep up the great work! Love your videos!

[@reptilerevival]

I love the pure locality projects. Thanks for another great video, Garrett!

[@Viridoviperas]

Wow. That is one amazing retic! Not a fan of the morphs, but the smaller sized localities are on my bucket list for sure!

[@Ibaneddie76]

Wow what an absolute dream snake. I would have to say it doesn't get more perfect than that. The size the pattern, color, and temperament, just spectacular. I really hope you are able to reproduce these animals not only for people like us who obsess over these animals but more importantly to potentially save them from extinction. Amazing video.

[@sklhsnakes3431]

WOW! That snake is gorgeous! The absolute joy on your face when you saw him was just fantastic man. Owning one of your future karompas would be a dream come true. Your knowledge and love for the animals helps drive me to further my knowledge and meet knowledgable people like yourself. The world needs to know your name and work Garrett. Stay awesome brother!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks dude, I was glad to be able to share a very happy moment.

[@LoriTorrini]

How EXCITING! Now, a 5’ retic I could make room for amongst my Carpet Pythons.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

This guy is smaller than most carpets I've had...

[@LoriTorrini]

Reach Out Reptiles Well, when you have one this small for sale, I would consider it but give me warning so I can start saving. I’m sure the value goes up as the size goes down!

[@joeyrekiel]

Wow! I would love to own a few SDs someday, to have a pair of Karompas would be insane!! Good luck pairing 🤞🏽

[@Gottalovecarpetpythons]

l could so why you were so excited when you saw him, he is a stunner, fingerscrossed the breeding is a huge success for you. Maybe wild caught but certainly has no issues with us humans being around him.

[@hulapopper38oz]

You were like a little boy getting his first puppy. It was awesome to watch your excitement when you took him out of the bag.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

I think I was more excited here than for my first puppy, tbh!

[@joshlaquinta3608]

I love how in-depth you go on your videos you really give theses animal great justice!!!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thank you very much!

[@scarolina360]

These are even more stunning in person. Great job man!

[@firedrake7179]

And I agree with the other commenter below, that is my new favorite SD variety by far. You could probably sell out of them before any lock-ups!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

No doubt...

[@biologychic7292]

I can’t get over how chill he is! What a special snake 🐍

[@janetjan1708]

So glad I found your channel. You have the perfect cadence and such interesting way of teaching. I can’t imagine the time you must spend making each video. Of which I’ve been binge watching , thank you so much.

[@murray1169]

Pure karompas are definitely a dream snake for me but a bit out of my range especially after just buying a male pied mainland and a pair of pure madus.

[@anastasiaortolano890]

Oh God, when you filmed him outside I was so nervous just from seeing all those videos of people doing a happy video releasing an animal and a hawk coming down and swooping it up!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Trust me, I was watching!

[@wanderingbrook6317]

This is insane garret!!!! So happy for you man!!!! Can’t wait to see baby corampas!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thank you very much!

[@WikkidVyxen]

He is amazing! Good luck with this project! This was a great vid!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thank you very much!

[@katiespangler5483]

He is absolutely beautiful! Best of luck with this project! I can't wait for updates!

[@TheFerrot]

Dude! I’m hyped for you! That color and the busy bee pattern. Like you were saying with that “pattern behind the pattern look”. That’s so gorgeous. It’s right there with Sulawesi in beauty.

[@jeffhathcock4265]

Congrats man! I’m excited for you, those are gonna be sweet!!

[@danielleb.7055]

Thanks for giving us true facts about dwarf and super dwarf locals. Especially the Karompas. Love all of your videos. They are always full of information you can't find anywhere else. Have a great day and can't wait to see some Karompa babies **👼

[@lancegreen6795]

Awesome animal! I never considered a dwarf retic until I started watching your videos. You have cleared up a lot of misconceptions. Please post more locality videos showing the visual size/pattern differences between the island animals. Love your videos.

[@JDHReptiles]

For someone who doesn't know anything about Retics.. I LOVE this locality special.. Major educational.. Puts my desire for a future D/SD Retic much more into overdrive. You know how much I love the CG Anery stuff... But that one right there... WOW, off the charts.. Thanks for sharing Garrett. Dave - JDH Reptiles

[@tomtu550]

Awesome to see you keeping pure locality stuff going. Best of luck with the pairing!

[@KeystrokePOSSoftware]

EXCELLENT information!!!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thank you very much!

[@R.A.D.REPTILES]

All I can say is WOW! Now that is something to get excited about.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Agreed!

[@ChaoSSxRiot]

i want someone who'll look at me the way you looked at that snake

[@ReachOutReptiles]

hahahaha

[@bjsreef6620]

Man this is so exciting. I hope they breed for you. I’m glad you are taking this project so serious. With out people like you we will surely lose these special gems.

[@angelaferraro90]

Idk how I’m JUST seeing this. Love this video and how you explain how to tell the locality by their pattern and small details within the pattern. That’s exactly what I’ve been wanting to learn! Trying to find specific info like you share is next to impossible!! Even for the mainland morphs 😩 I want to learn so bad lol Please do more of these!

[@EliteExoticsBp]

Ausome video , love the colors very cool you have a great week 👍👍🙌🙌🙌🐍🥇

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks man!!

[@M0053yfate]

Just watched you vid about the second male you got. Glad you haven't lost the spark you have in this vid yet.

[@tristencowder4603]

Morphs are cool and all, but pure localities are amazing. Awesome video Garrett. Let’s hope you get some amazing babes from those two. Good luck!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks Tristen!

[@Heminick67]

wow, that is a fantastic looking reticulated python!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks, I thought so too!

[@chrisgraham2837]

Just have a catch up on your videos mate, very nice love the the pure localities

[@nathansee7306]

That was a very exciting video and my fingers are crossed hoping you can breed to help preserve this amazing locality. Thanks for the locality specific video and I can’t wait for the next one.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks man, will be fun if I can pull it off!

[@poohbear9552]

Wow Garrett!! I have always wondered how you tell the locals apart. My super dwarf is 50% kal 25% karompa 25% mainland so now im going to go look and see if I can pick out any of the karompa traits. Really awesome!! I hope they produce well for you for many years to come.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Not many Karompa crosses out there! If it is Karompa, then there's a 50% chance his grand daddy is this guy, being that no females have been bred in the US, and there are only 2 males...

[@poohbear9552]

if you get a chance to talk to JT again he can tell you about the father. From what he told me the male was 50% kal and 50% karompa. I don't know the exact information on where he got it or if he bred it.

[@poohbear9552]

forgot to put in to tell JT it is the one Ryan called him about and ordered the clutch was layed aug 3

[@michaelb761]

Good job tracking him down. It is important to keep the localities available as pure as possible so that what makes each one unique isn't lost.

[@michaelross5674]

Nice man ...... you were killing me earlier... was so excited thanks for the update

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Very exciting! Hope you'll get lots of healthy babies from that pairing! The new male is a beauty! Lovely pattern on him! I love that you are doing some videos about certain examples of specific localities. This is probably something few have seen because so many of the Retics out there are mixtures of various ones.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Pure locality animals are increasingly rare here in the US, very sad.

[@YogiSip]

Awesome looking SD retics all of the best in breeding them Garett!

[@davidmartin5377]

Another great video man. Can wait to get my hands on one of them. Going to be sending you an email soon man. Can’t wait. Keep it up man.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Might be a long wait, but hopefully not as long as mine was to get a pair!

[@WamaCP]

All the very best with these

[@dogfist]

Absolutely awesome. Karompas look stunning!

[@jenniferwinters3436]

Wow! They are incredible. I have my fingers and toes crossed that you’ll get a clutch from them!

[@robertoestrada8841]

Wish I could acquire one of these beautiful pure locale retics they are astonishingly splendid id rather have a pure locale than a mainland

It took us a long time to gather the collection we have- if it's right for you, you'll get there!

[@LA-rn5ih]

Cant wait to see what you produce with the bloodline hopefully korompa to korompa is the first project when need more pure super dwarves on the market

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Working on it!

[@XxJoitchxX]

Wow, he's gorgeous

[@firedrake7179]

I love that you love localities so much. Locality Rosy Boa guys out here in Cali are misunderstood for sure. I get it. About half of my collection of serpents are wild type. No one paints them better than God does. Finally something Forest can be happy you did!
