Kayaudi Super Dwarf Reticulated Python
Kayaudi Super Dwarf Retic’s are our hottest new project, these have now been proven to be a true dwarf variant. Females only growing to 9 foot and many breeding at a much smaller size. Recently the retic colour morph market has expanded to a variety of beautiful morphs including albinos of various types sunglows, fires and titanium’s to name a few. The drawback of these normal retic’s is the sheer size they grow, often up and over 20 ft.
Here at Pilbara Reptiles we have started our own “Super Dwarf” morph breeding program this is a real winner, the beauty of the retic and the various morphs, but in a smaller package perfect!! ...

What a way to start the season our pair of Green Tree Monitors (
Varanus, prasinus) have laid!
This particular pair of Green Tree Monitors have been great from day one, fitting into a regular pattern of feeding and cleaning. The female especially has become so accustomed, that she will regularly come to the front of the cage and wait for food which she will take from tweezers. Often during cage maintenance she will sit happily on one of our shoulders. The male is more wary but will sit happily in the viv whilst we maintain it. This type of behaviour is great, especially with animals that are famed for not acclimitizing well in captivity.
