Reticulated Python Care
This is a simplified care for Reticulated Pythons. This is how we have been caring for these animals at Lovera Exotics. There are other ways to be successful. Please, please, please do a lot of research before purchasing any Retic(s). These are the WORLD'S LONGEST SNAKE!!!

We give all of our Retics something to climb on and we change up the environment frequently. They are very active and strong animals. With any Retic longer than 10 feet have someone else with you when you take them out. Always go as big as you can with Retic caging because they will use every inch.
