    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey, so i'm more of a beginner herp keeper, i have one diamond jungle carpet python. I was just wondering if a SD retic would be a good second snake for a beginner keeper. Also I haven't been able to find a 100% pure SD retic, so any suggestions to find a 100% pure anery or normal SD retic would be great

I think Daniel solis has some pure SD stuff, I know he works with a lot of SD/D so if he doesn't have them himself he probably knows who does.

Retics are by far my favorite snakes. They have a super aggressive feeding response but otherwise (in general) are very easy to handle and work with, especially the SD stuff. As long as you get a baby that doesn't mind being handled, I wouldn't consider a SD retic too far beyond "beginner" level...although I'm sure some would disagree.
 
Just be sure to ask a lot of questions about the size of snake you will be getting. Best way to know is to ask how big the parents are. Some dwarf localities, while much smaller than a regular retic, may still get to be 12ft. Other localities, often branded super dwarf, can be as small as 6ft.
