I have a theory that the sole reason dwarf and superdwarf retics are gaining in popularity is because Garrett is their hype man. I was terrified of the idea of even being near a retic. Forget owning one. Then I watched one of Garrett’s videos. Now one of my “life goals” is to purchase a Reach Out G.O.A.T. He could probably get me to vote retics into office at this point.
I think you’re on to something Ryan. But I think there’s more to it. Because reticulated pythons are awesome animals. And having one that is manageable by one person and fits in a regular sized enclosure is even more awesome! I think people would have caught on, but ROR is definitely leading the charge.
After 15 years in the hobby, I've just recently got my first retic, adopted a 5 year old male Platinum superdwarf (6.5ft) I love him, he's awesome. I agree on the personality of SD's 10/10. Heading to thailand in january, hoping to see some mainlands! Great video , cheers guys
My favorite species is like a 3.5, sometimes it's just not about the numbers..... I agree with the rating, the most compelling thing about retics in my opinion is their.. swagger.. for lack of a better word.
Totally agree on the interactivity. My 2 babies from you are by far the most inquisitive snakes I have. The little girl struck at me last night but I settled her down and pulled her out to improve her trust. The male had almost a flip of a switch with trust. That snake truly trusts me with his life and I love that.
One of my life goals is to be able to interact with one of your snakes. I've never really interacted with larger snakes and want to. They seem like sweeties.
Watching this with my recently acquired pure Tombolongan baby and she was watching with her head resting on my head (seems to be her favorite perch). Having little personal experience with Retics as of yet I can still attest to them having a special personality. :) I'm still waiting for you guys to make it to Europe so I can fulfill my dream of an anery tiger. Until then I dubbed you Out of Reach Reptiles. ;D
OMG. I am a boa guy myself but I must say these dwarf and super dwarf retics are definitely on my wish list. Making sure my boas get everything they need as far as permanent enclosures must come first. But once this is established in the next few months I am looking forward to purchasing my first super from you. I love the purple tigers in any variation. That cow is gorgeous btw.... You do great work and I love your video content. Keep it up looking forward to working with a few of your beautiful snake children very soon
I must admit, I was surprised by super dwarf retics. I got my first one about a month ago (thanks Garret for recommending the breeder (UK) 😁x He came and from day one he was super sweet I had read that they can be a bit defensive, especially as babies (he was born July 13th this year, so is only 3 months old), but he is the sweetest little dude ever. Best snakes ever, 😍x Great video.
I have to say that you totally missed the opportunity to capitalize on your market share by expressing the category scores in appropriately "decimaled" SD percentages😋😁🐍Love the channel, and so happy for you and all the staff getting new digs, and Ashley getting the basement back. I'm not throwing shade, just giving a little sass.
Caging/enclosures got me :-) I ordered my little Ball buddy's new home about 2 hours ago because he has grown out of his 3ft. I just like him to have stretch room :-) honestly if I could realistically have a set of a few nice females and a male or two SD/D retics I would love to be a hobby breeder...
Always goes without saying that small children shouldn’t be around ANY snake without strict supervision. All kids once old enough to understand must be taught how to touch/handle a size-appropriate snake. I think a superdwarf would be an excellent 2nd or 3rd snake for a kid 10 or older if the child has the aptitude and interest.
This series seems like it'll be a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing the rest of these. Really looking forward to see how and who does the Boas, since as we know BOAS RULE y'know. 😜 Hope yinz are good.
For the WOW factor their scales feel like magic! I love me a keeled scale like on hognose has but wow retics are something else. I don't know if anyone has an answer for this but: If I want a Supper Phantom under 9 feet... how much time and money would that take?
I love retic's and I and a small time breeder but if he wants to be honest the average person cannot afford a super dwarf they're out of the price range of most people it's the double edged sword of reptiles if it's rare people put a ft Penny on it which stops most people from purchasing it
So I'm going to do this with my cats and see how they stand up to the scale (ha, scale) since I technically do not have a pet reptile until Tuesday (be warmer faster, Chicago!) Update: the cats did not score well even with 10/10 bonus 😅
@@ReachOutReptiles 6.5 - they lost out on wow factor (Just A Cat plus the ethics of breeding Wow Fancy Cats are pretty equivalent to the ethics of breeding green iguana morphs in Florida) and on safety, surprisingly. Cat bites are always medically significant, and good husbandry requires sticking your fingers in their mouths to brush their teeth every day. The flip side to Wow is that Availability was a 10/10; there's a cat for everyone including people who prefer dogs and people who are allergic to cats.) My Bonus category was "I love these cats so much" -- you have to work to earn their love and trust but once you have it it's like ... Dang, man. Getting an introvert to decide you're Their People. Super rewarding. (I'm still looking for a vet who will ok me using FT rodents as cat treats. I'm hoping my new reptile vet is more amenable to the idea than my regular vet.)
@@timapiepgrass8702 my girls are the best cats ever and I adore them but they also kept me up until 4:00am with zoomies and somehow I doubt a snake can do that. Maybe a cobra.

Someone has to get Clint (Clint’s Reptiles) in on this. His love for Emerald Tree Skinks is becoming quite legendary. 🦎
He's not wrong about 'em, tho. ;) Mine are crazy friendly.
Ooh, great idea!
That would be stinkin' rad!
@@amyb5339, I see what you did there :)
Hands down best personality I’ve ever experienced as far as observing and interacting with a snake

Can't wait to see all of these
also you editor is awesome! great video
I can't wait to get a purple SD from you guys they are amazing

I've got my list for corn snakes ready lol.
Can’t wait to see what other species you have featured on here.
Im a ball python breeder but i have wanted one of your super dwarf retics
---> info@reachoutreptiles.com 😏
I'm so excited to see all these!
One of my life goals is to be able to interact with one of your snakes. I've never really interacted with larger snakes and want to. They seem like sweeties.
Loving this idea!
Thanks Aurora!
You should make a video on how to give your snake a shot.
I am very much looking forward to this series. I love watching people talk about animals they're passionate about
Thats the goal!

Now we need to just start to get people to breed elephants so we can have"dwarf" potbellied elephants
This is a really fun idea. Can’t wait to see all the competitors.
We got a fun lineup.

This sounds like it will be a fun series to watch can't wait to see the next one. That cow retic was absolutely beautiful.
GOD BLESS 🐍💖🐍💖🐍💖
i scored your beloved retics higher than you and im a boa guy lol 😂
We are being conservative;)
Should be an AWESOME series! Ya kinda cheated though by starting with the best reptile-snake hands down though, lol.

Agreed, as long as parents also realize they will need to play a pretty big role as pet keeper whilst kids are younger.
@@ReachOutReptiles Absolutely👍
All I can say is I am attempting to save up for a super dwarf sometime next year.
Love to hear it!
This series seems like it'll be a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing the rest of these. Really looking forward to see how and who does the Boas, since as we know BOAS RULE y'know. 😜 Hope yinz are good.
Is that cow the same SD baby from last year?ish
No, this is a different cow
I would like a T-shirt that says super dwarf across the front.
Just wish we could get them In South Africa
In the one video say how dose your merchandise for u I know someone who needs a designer snake island exotic on u tube

SUPER DWARVES "AND MY AXE!!!!" 🪓
Fantastic vid, guys! ~ that whole “enclosure”, or more specifically lack there of transcends Weetics© and boggles my mind.
However, I’m easily in agreement with (BiAsEd) with these scores.
Will slap fight 🐍
Why the cap? You got great looking hair Garret!
Right?! Why hide it? Even messy hair is still hair! What am I talking about?! I love bald guys!!
Garrett needs a haircut.
This is gonna be an awesome series!
We're excited for it!
