Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Super dwarf Retics or Dwarf Burms
I am wondering which is the better "dwarf" and why ?
I actually have some limited experience with each, but I am actually wonder about other peoples opinions.
The Dwarf Burms (Python bivittatus progschai) I had experience with were a pair of juveniles which were F1/F2s which never tamed down, and were always highly defensive. Although they were very aggressive in feeding - they also would strike and bite me at the first chance.
I also have some experience with a 50% dwarf Burm female. Which while a bit defensive when I first got her. She quickly tamed to the point of able to handle her on a semi-regular basis. Now 2-3 months later - her temperament is quite calm and tame, when she isn't feeding.
The Super Dwarf Retics are 50% Kalatoa crossed with mainland retics. Their temperament is quite different from these of the Dwarf Burms - as they are pretty chilled, and laid back snakes, which are very curious and love to explore. I've been able to hand them from the first day I got them.

I have no experience with dwarf burms.
I have a 100% SD male retic and two 50% SD 100% het purple female retics (sisters).
The females are awesome. They are chill, curious, and not at all defensive. I wouldn't call them "social" but of all my snakes, even the 100% mainland retics, they are the most likely to initiate interaction with people.
The male is a jerk. I laugh when people want an SD or a male retic because they don't want a "big snake" and think they can manage one that size by themselves, because this male will tear you up faster and harder than my females at twice his size will.

Your male 100% SD's temperament sounds a lot like the temperament of the pair of pure progschai Burm I had.
I am wondering if his temperament is just because he is a mean, ill tempered male, or because he is an early generation(F1 or F2) Cb pure SD.
