Episode 124: Troubleshooting Reticulated Python Behavior w/ Alex Carr of Carr Reptiles

In this episode of The Retic Lounge, we sit down with Alex Carr of Carr Reptiles to discuss his journey into the world of Reticulated Pythons. As a new keeper, Alex has embraced the challenge of working with two very different snakes: a confident and curious female and a flighty, defensive male.

Alex shares his proactive approach to addressing behavioral challenges, including reaching out to experienced leaders in the retic community and becoming part of our Patreon family. Together, we explore strategies to help him shape positive interactions with his male retic before his size and strength make defensive behaviors more problematic.

This episode offers invaluable insights for keepers of all experience levels, highlighting the importance of mentorship, community, and patience in understanding and shaping retic behavior.
